I genuinely loved this queer, gothicesque book about botany, passion, pain and love. But some of the character work fell flat to me, and the ending left me somewhat unsatisfied.
I'll do a longer review of this on my blog, but the characters' arcs often felt unearned and left me confused as to how they reached the emotional standing they arrived at in the end. I'm also not completely sold on the handling of the female characters, especially when compared to their male counterparts.
Still, I greatly enjoyed this book and will look forward to future work from the author!
