Serpentine by Cindy Pon

1.0

I feel like I can safely give this book a solid thumbs down. I was under the impression I was reading a diverse mythical fantasy book for middle schoolers but the result was something much more mature and definitely blah. The plot is just... boring. The mythological elements are not very exciting. The romance felt rushed. The book ended oddly (and anti-climactically) but I don't care enough about the characters to invest time in the sequel. I'm sorry to say it since one of my favorite YA authors recommended this on Goodreads but it's just not my cup of tea at all. Perhaps someone else would find it interesting but it was not for me.
