Serpent & Dove wasn't for me. I didn't feel any attachment to the characters which meant I didn't care about the romance which takes centre stage. It was also too slow in my opinion. It's a shame because the writing is beautiful and the magic system and setting is really intriguing. I can imagine these aspects are explored and developed better in the second book but I'm just not invested enough to continue.
