The book finally addresses the mysterious government plot that Saffron has been worried about in the first two books of the series. Unfortunately, in doing that, it takes a huge turn away from the lighthearted banter and poetic references to flowers and plants. It didn't hit in the same happy, clever way that the first two did. I did enjoy it overall, though. The book ends on a note that indicates a continuation of the series, and I'll probably keep reading it because I really like Saffron and all of her endearing traits (that make up for the annoying ones). She is growing more independent and sure of herself in each book, and that's nice to see. Elizabeth plays a more prominent role in the story, and I like getting to know her better. Hoping to see more of her!
