This is one I'll be rushing to recommend to people. ''The Serpent King'' is dark and emotional; it's a book that will grip you tightly and wring out all the feeling it can. It's exceptionally well-written. I'm honestly astounded it's a debut novel.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner]].
If you like young adult fiction with an emotional bent, you might enjoy [[Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D Schmidt]].
