Reading for the first time in memory of the Czech-English playwright, who died Saturday.

Wow! What a phenomenal YA fantasy!
First off, the blend of Hamlet, the Tudors, and deadly flowers were an amazing combination. It all worked together perfectly. It had a gothic feel with a touch of horror. I loved it!
Let‘s take a moment to talk about the grave flowers themselves. These killer flowers had a life of their own and were so fascinating.

Enjoy!

I feel like our entire society would be SO much better if everyone did A LOT more of this. Just putting that out there.

I was into this audio at the beginning but I found it to drag on the middle—so much so that I found myself skipping and I NEVER do that. I could have missed something vital, so take this with a grain of salt. I know theater doesn‘t work for me in literature so it‘s my fault. I loved the MC‘s backstory and the set up: Sonia returns to her home to discover so much has changed: grandparents have passed, houses sold. Timely: Palestinian experiences.
