I finished it last night!
At midnight.
I have read the last 2 pages obsessively.
COF is sitting right in front of me, just in case I want to read them again.
I love the part about Silvia and Rodolfo. So cute!!
(Am I allowed to give out spoilers in this board?)
Love Kat.

Yes you are allowed to give out spoilers, that is what this board is for. I, unlike you guys, am waiting till monday (i.e. tomorrow) to get mine signed. Then I know that i will read it all in one night, get no sleep, bring it to school to read again and fall asleep in maths. I am v. irritated that they got the release dates messed up, it totally mixed up the suspense! Oh well. I will not be back in this category till i have read it.

I was sulking all yesterday. I'm not allowed to go to the signing. I thought it was on Wednesday, and I had Target Setting then. I would have been allowed to go then. I was way annoyed. *pout* Ah well. I expect to hear all about it from you guys. Love Kat. |

Just finished it 2 minutes ago! Got it at 4:00pm, surprising I actually got it finished today, given all the distractions of my demented family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But OMG it is SOOOOOOOO good. And that end bit with Luciano and Arianna - it is so cute and romantic and lovely! Sorry, I am rambling. |

That is so my favourite part!!

Love Kat.

Oh my....  Warning, for those of you who haven't read City Of Flowers, I'm going to be talking about it from hereon....Well, I got City of Flowers today, I got home, and sat down and read for about two hours straight. And currently, I've literally just finished reading it, my reaction is wow! Sky is a wonderful character, and I liked the way Alice was getting jealous of his, Georgia's and Nick's secret and demanded to be told. I thought it was excellent that she didn't want to be a Stravagante, really did prove that you have to be chosen by the talisman, you can't just be picked so that you know your boyfriend isn't cheating on you. I honestly thought at some points in the novel that Luciano was going to go back to England and I was so very, very relieved when he didn't. Enrico figuring out that he did kill Guiliana instead of Silvia and then, by switching the swords, achieving some sort of redemption was excellent, and a twist I hadn't anticipated. And of course, Arianna and Luciano got together! There were points when I had serious doubts that they would, and both of them thinking that the other didn't care was heartwrenching. I adored the fact that it was Luciano fearing Arianna didn't love him that made him consider dying again to go back to England, not that he was afraid of the duel. Combined with all the tension from the other weddings, which were disastrous, with the exception of Silvia and Rodolfo's, it was a very touching scene, and a fitting end to an enthralling and favourite trilogy. So, all in all, I think I'll stick to my response of 'wow!', a truly amazing read, that I was so involved in I literally couldn't put down. The artwork is gorgeous and I would have loved to get it signed, but sadly, there was no way I could have made it into London. I too would love to hear more from Talia, especially about Luciano and Arianna's romance, announcement of their engagement and then marriage, if only in the form of a short story on the site. HuntressDiana *sighs happily* |
