Serpentine by Cindy Pon

5.0

This was by no means a perfect book but I enjoyed it thoroughly from start to finish. I have been reading books this year that I put on my to-read list years ago, and I have forgotten pretty much everything about these books. I've found it really fun to be constantly surprised by these books I'm picking up. I went into this book thinking it was going to be a story about two girls growing up and all of a sudden there were demons and monks fighting and myth and magic and I was like, "WOAH". This book is a pretty typical YA book, it moves quickly, there are a lot of strong emotions, love triangle going on, friendship, etc. but I just loved it. Honestly, and I mean this very affectionately, this book felt a lot like I was watching a B movie and it was great. I also really enjoyed the fact that there was diversity represented in both race and sexuality. If you like YA and want a fun, mythological read, then I'd super recommend this.
