.LacyMB reviews author Roshani Chokshi's adult debut TheLastTaleoftheFlowerBride, and a lush and decadent Gothic tale with plenty of dark secrets.
Roshani Chokshi is the latest in a long line of popular YA authors making the leap to writing adult fiction over the past year or two. But those that loved her young adult books—-Hades and Persephone-inspired fantasy—may be surprised to discover that her adult debut,finds this author venturing off down a whole new storytelling path—and one in which there’s no magic in sight.
The story follows an unnamed narrator known only as “The Bridegroom,” a scholar who meets the mysterious, wealthy heiress Indigo Maxwell-Castenada when he asks permission to see a rare manuscript from her family’s vast collection. The two bond immediately over their love of stories—particularly the delicately built worlds of fairytales, with their set hierarchies and strict rules about power and truth.
Though the plot of the book is certainly propulsive—and the tension surrounding the truth of what happened to Azure is nigh unbearable at times—-is, at its heart a story driven by its characters and the complex relationships between them.
