utopiastateofmind 's review for:

Serpent Sea by Maiya Ibrahim
3.5

(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.) 

Serpent Sea forces both Imani and Taha to reconcile with their past, their own secrets, and their version of change. They're on different sides and we wonder throughout if they can bridge the gap. During the course of Serpent Sea both Taha and Imani asks themselves how they can protect their home and loved ones without all these casualties. Without bargains with demons, unintended consequences, and scorched earth. From the beginning, I enjoyed reading Taha's POV as he explores why he felt Imani and him could never work. We see him unraveling and processing his own images and conception of himself.
