A review by kaitlynnnng
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

adventurous dark slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

Some of the dialogue at the beginning  was cringey and awkward, but that went away.

The ending clearly sets up Blood & Honey, but is satisfying enough for Serpent & Dove to be a stand-alone book.
