The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner

2.0

I hate to say I didn’t love this book but I didn’t. I liked the general themes, growing up, learning to be brave, found family, those concepts were good and I like the energy they had. That being said, the book itself I didn’t love. It was a book about teenagers that /felt/ like it was written by an adult who had never talked to a teen. Maybe this is a me problem but I just didn’t feel attached to any of the characters so I didn’t tear up the way everyone said they did. Maybe there was too much hype but it just didn’t live up to my expectations. I think as a 14-16 year old I would have loved this but as a 23 year old it just didn’t do it for me
