jade_ls_lee's review against another edition
Es centos. Nudien. Jau vairāk kā piecus gadus neesmu lasījusi vairākas grāmatas reizē, bet šo atstāju čunčināt pamazām. Ja ļoti aizmiedza acis, varēja piedot tos loģikas caurumus.
Bet tad....
'The Nucci could have been useful,’ said Sulien thoughtfully, ‘but not since the death of Davide. If they see the opportunity to attack the di Chimici they will be caught up in that, not looking out for the Duchessa.’
‘We need more Stravaganti here,’ said Giuditta. ‘I would have Rodolfo summon others of the Brotherhood from all over Talia. If it comes to a fight, it is not swordsmen we need, but those who can communicate without words and surround the Duchessa with their thoughts rather than their muscles.'
Tās spējas stravagantēm kļuvušas par totālu sviestu. Un viņu "brālība"?! Ko pie velna viņi vispār dara? Izārstēs Tāliju no Di Kimiči ar pozitīvo domiņu spēku??
VISS ir kļuvis ļoti paviršs. Ļoti saraustīta skatpunktu pārslēgšana, pārāk daudz Di Kimiči un viņu kāzas, pārāk maz paša sasodītā galvenā varoņa! 1.+2. lieliski sastrādājās ar tēlu pārklājumu un viņu attiecībām. Nu par Remoru knapi viens pīkstiens bijis un Džordžijai vispār pover, ka viņa var stravagēt. Ughhhhh!!!! Tur ir tik daudz potenciāla, bet tāda sajūta, ka katru reizi, kad tas novīd pie apvāršņa, autore met ratus otrādi un skrien pretējā virzienā.
Vispār ļoti liela vilšanās. Gribēju šo sēriju pabeigt un no jauna papriecāties, bet tā vietā uzmetīšu aci plot summaries un slēgšu šito bodīti.

Home is where the love is, no matter what city, dimension, century you’re in.

Very good book in the series.
Although Sky’s importance in the plot of this story wasn’t really made clear , it seemed to focus a lot more on Luciano, Georgia, Arianna & the Di Chimici family members.
I was impressed the maturity displayed by Arianna in her polite response to the Grand Duke of Giglia’s m’a proposal.
I am also very happy ( with a touch of sadness ?) that Luciano FINALLY proposed to Arianna ( I’m sad because of Georgia’s love which I thought was requited…) but now Georgia is with Falco/ Nicholas & both of them are happy

And this is where the Stavaganza series starts to wane a tiny bit? I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first two, mainly because I felt that parts of the plot were just...loose. Perhaps it's because there are a couple of threads that Hoffman plans to take up in previous books. And with someone like Rowling I'd feel like I was in capable hands and all would be explained/sorted out eventually. But at the end of City of Flowers, I just felt as if parts of the plot could have been done better. That and the profusion of characters in this book as opposed to the first two meant that I just wasn't as engaged as with the first two.
But perhaps this is an endorsement, as a die-hard completist I'm more than likely to read book four.
