3.5

3.5 with a heavy heart- did not land as well as his other works. Jeff Zentner is, and will always be one of my favorite authors, I just feel like this book didn’t hit me like his other works. 

This felt more loudly YA.. and almost John green styled ? Like teens.. but also comedic in a way that makes it unrealistic? It may be that as someone no longer a teen it makes this style of storytelling harder to enjoy. 

I LOVED the characters, as always the fleshed out dynamics and personality HIT. By far the weakest I’ve read but still good. I found myself enjoying the love interest? Despite not wanting to? This was cute. I don’t foresee myself re-reading it but I would recommend it. 

I’m going to re-read serpent king for the hundredth time now…
