Home is where the love is, no matter what city, dimension, century you’re in.

Very good book in the series.
Although Sky’s importance in the plot of this story wasn’t really made clear , it seemed to focus a lot more on Luciano, Georgia, Arianna & the Di Chimici family members.
I was impressed the maturity displayed by Arianna in her polite response to the Grand Duke of Giglia’s m’a proposal.
I am also very happy ( with a touch of sadness ?) that Luciano FINALLY proposed to Arianna ( I’m sad because of Georgia’s love which I thought was requited…) but now Georgia is with Falco/ Nicholas & both of them are happy

And this is where the Stavaganza series starts to wane a tiny bit? I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first two, mainly because I felt that parts of the plot were just...loose. Perhaps it's because there are a couple of threads that Hoffman plans to take up in previous books. And with someone like Rowling I'd feel like I was in capable hands and all would be explained/sorted out eventually. But at the end of City of Flowers, I just felt as if parts of the plot could have been done better. That and the profusion of characters in this book as opposed to the first two meant that I just wasn't as engaged as with the first two.
But perhaps this is an endorsement, as a die-hard completist I'm more than likely to read book four.

Look, if I had read this series for the first time when I'd been a younger teenager, I probably would have loved the hell out of it.
But reading it for the first time in my mid-30s is just not my thing.
