I loved the first half of Serpent & Dove, especially because of the enemy-to-lovers trope and the interesting premise of terrorist witches vs. witch-hunters. The characters were well-fleshed out and the writing was good. Unfortunately, the second half dashed my hopes. It soon became another formulaic story that has been done too many times. I'm giving it three stars for that first half otherwise it would be a two-star book, in my opinion.

It's enjoyable but it really feels like an unpolished fanfic with the "only one bed" and "accidental marriage" tropes. The set-up is quite ridiculous, some of the "twists" and scenes are just... unnecessary and I feel like there was nearly no depth to the characters. It seems like the plot was written for the romance and not the other way round.
