A review by annelienvan
City of Flowers by Mary Hoffman
3.0
third installment in the series, and you do notice it. The plotlines grow a bit thin, and the characters grow a bit rigid. The newly introduced characters are, to me, not as likeable as the previous ones.
I had a few annoyances throughout the book:
- people don't seem to change much.
- everyone is deeply in love with someone. I know it's a YA novel and that to a YA it seems very important, but to me all the different pairings and the tensions got a bit much.
- Dr Dethridge, again. we know he speaks in an older kindof language, but the way it's written is just very difficult to read and rather annoying.
The plot was nice, exciting and interesting. I liked the way it all came together, but there could have been fewer pages. it was nicely written though, really takes you along to Talia/italy and you can feel that the other loves it all herself.
i'd give this 3.5 if i could!
book: 4/50
pages: 1200
