Flowers of Darkness
by Tatiana de Rosnay
Thank you Netgalley, St.Martin’s Press and Tatiana de Rosnay for free e-ARC in return of my honest review.
Lately I struggle with rating system for books. First of all, reading is very personal and what one loves and enjoys might be boring and uninspiring for another. Second, rating is very subjective. A new book by Tatiana de Rosnay
~Flowers of Darkness~ is a clear example of rating gone wrong (my personal opinion).
Yes, the story has flows. Plot line is misleading and confusing. Time frame is hard to understand- it our time or future? Everything is barely explain and when it got explained, it opens up even more questions.
However, it has its charm. If the story telling has some weaknesses, the writing style is flawless. The author’s ability to create a place (in this instance new apartment of the protagonist) as modern as it could be but hollow and empty. Especially, when protagonist strive to create cozy and livable space, she struggle to do so in a new place. I actually think that that apartment was another character in the story which helps the protagonist to evolve.
I did enjoy Flowers of Darkness and urge you not to rely on any ratings and always judge by yourself
