A review by kerrika
The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi
5.0
I’ve been loving gothic romances lately and I randomly bought this book at target because I liked the cover. I wasn’t expecting anything when I decided to read it either. Adding this as one of my top reads for 2024!
"But this woman did not hold Time. She spent it. She wasted minutes in the sun, threw away seconds on winding sidewalks, offered hours to paintings and ice cream and movement, and let herself be changed."
This book….beautifully written! The tension build up! Especially towards the end! The fairytale parallels I loved so much. I love how there were woven into the story. The plot twist at the end that I did not see coming! I felt so much for Azure. A girl who became trapped and wanting to be free. Also, finally a book whose ending was wrapped up beautifully like a present with a bow.
Another thing I enjoyed was the time. It’s like it takes place now but also it doesn’t which also seems to play a theme within the book.
Am I rambling? Yes! Because I literally just finished it and I’m writing my thoughts as they come lol
5/5 would recommend!
