The Age of Larkspur by Aleighsha Parke
5.0
I would've given The Age of Larkspur all the stars in the night sky just for Flora alone if I could. Honestly, I think I need to write an essay about how much I loved Flora. I found her so relatable and despite all the differences between us, I could still see so many aspects of my teen years being played right in front of me as I followed her tale.
But aside from Flora, The Age of Larkspur was fantastic. The plot on its own was very intriguing but the fantasy nerd in me couldn’t help but be fascinated by the world-building and the magic system. I can’t really give a higher compliment to an author than saying that their story made me so interested in a culture that I decided to spend a good chunk of my time researching the folklore the story is based on.
The Age of Larkspur is an incredible debut by Aleighsha Parke. It’s a magical story with an incredible and relatable protagonist that you really don’t want to miss.
