The Flowered Blade by Taylor Hubbard
2.25
adventurous slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: N/A
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I wish I could like this book more. Unfortunately the story felt very flat and uninspired. It was way too long for what it is and the author fell pray often to telling instead of showing, which kills me. Also, it’s full of annoying logical inconsistencies. 
I like the trans main character, but I wished it was better written.
