A review by emiliedeeann
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
4.0
I’m amazed this is a debut novel. The writing was beautiful and the storyline/plot kept me hooked.
I loved the characters, as well as understood them, and was painted a clear picture of them. The world wasn’t painted quite as well. The love story was realistic and very sweet without being cheesy.
If you liked “The Cruel Prince” series by Holly Black, I think you’ll like this one. The key difference is that where Black makes you distrust everything and everyone, Mahurin gives you hope.
It’s a bit long. But that’s a personal preference haha.
