naomiandino 's review for:
Serpent & Dove
by Shelby Mahurin
I picked this book because I liked the cover and I saw the word “witches.” I had no idea what the plot was but I was hooked from page one.
While I do love the book, I have to say IT IS NOT YOUNG ADULT. 12 years olds shouldn’t be reading it. It includes A LOT of cursing & one graphic scene. Another note on the cursing: this story takes place in some medieval era but the cursing is very modern! Other than that, this book also takes digs the Catholic Church a lot so I just feel like people should know that before so they don’t get pissed off.
Lou can go under the “I’m not like he other girls” category but she was still likeable. The characters have great character development (which is not something you normally see in trilogies until the last book). The world building was great (although you can argue than many things were just very convenient to the plot). The plot twists made me gasp and the best thing: it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger!
Anyways, read this book if you like:
