“Flowers of Darkness” by Tatiana De Rosnay
Finished 10/11/20
3.5/5 stars
I feel bad giving this novel just 3.5 stars because I truly
enjoyed the characters and their relationships but there’s just a little too
much “big brother” and robotic pieces for me to fully enjoy it. In other novels by Tatiana De Rosnay like “Sarah’s
Key” and “A Secret Kept”, she created characters and storylines I greatly
enjoyed. This time the storyline fell
short due to some of the AI aspects – without giving anything away, there are two
robots in the story that make it more of a sci-fi book than a mystery or
suspense novel in my opinion. I did enjoy
the characters though. Most are likable
and relatable in some sense. There could
have been more relationship development between some of the characters but
overall I still enjoyed their interactions.
I really enjoyed the main character’s relationship with her granddaughter,
but again, I think there could have been more done around it. Overall, I found it to be a good read, just
not a great read.
Thank you to both Netgalley and St Martin’s Press for an early eGalley in return for an honest review.
