Reader's Journal
Reading The Serpent King left me with quite a bit to think on. I immediately connected with one of the characters, and (spoiler alert), when he died towards the end of the novel, it really struck me. As a kid, there is this mindset where they just don't believe they can die, that one day they could just be taken away. I didn't entirely have this mindset, but seeing that happen to this character really reminded me of how mortal we all are. Anything can happen, and you best be prepared if it does. I'm not expecting anything like that
