    In this episode, Tamara and Casey discuss the final book in the Serpent and Dove trilogy, 'Gods and Monsters' by Shelby Mahurin. They share their disappointment with the book and critique the author's writing style and character development. The episode concludes with a critique of the final battle scene and the unrealistic plan of the characters. The conversation methodically identifies the principal themes of the book, including the lack of consequences, unrealistic recovery, inconsequential death, confusing epilogue, change in Reed's behavior, desire for spicier scenes, mislabeling of books, disappointment with the series, and narration issues.

Great Book Club Podcast

I love what Tamara and her co-hosts are doing with this podcast. With some of these book podcasts it's a bit over the head and dry. It is a very fun way to learn about new books to read.
