A review by endlessmidnight
Serpentine by Cindy Pon

2.0

I would say a pretty decent book, and the details about the world is incredibly lush and intriguing. But other than that, the plot is decent and ties up all loose ends. The only complaint is about the love story, which feels rather forced here and the characters mostly being rather flat.

The world is really the one thing which hits plenty of notes with me as I am fascinated with ancient China and it being so well explored in this setting.

But other than that, there isn't a lot which leaves to be desired from the book and needs a lot more of building and mostly being pure enjoyment and not having much depth to move me.
