A review by mollywetta
The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner
4.0
I ugly cried.
Zentner is an author to watch. He definitely has a lot of potential.
This story has a timeless feel about it, yet the teenagers are also completely modern. It's very mature, yet even the multiple third person perspective can't take away from the immediacy and YA feel of the story. There are times when the writing is a bit precious, but I'll forgive it for these characters, who were familiar yet unique and so heartfelt.
I'll probably write a long review of this one some day, but for now, I highly recommend it.
