The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani
3.0
Just finished this book and really liked it except for the ending. A better ending would have made this a 4-star read, instead of the 3-star read that I finally settled on.
I'm sure the folk tale at the ending was a metaphor that was intended to tell the fate of the main charactor, but I couldn't figure out what the tale meant, so I am left a bit bewildered and more than a bit disappointed. I fully admit that I am a fan of books with happy endings that wrap up nicely with no loose ends, so maybe I'm not being fair when I say the ending is disappointing. Maybe if I think about this a little more, the meaning of the folk tale and how it relates to the main charactor will come to me. Maybe.
The Blood of Flowers is still a good read and I will definitely look for more by this author.
