Review: Flora Segunda by Ysabeau S. Wilce

First, let me say that I loved this book. Like, really. I think my favorite part about it was the world-building. It was deep and rich and definitely a world I'd love to explore (although maybe not so much the political intrigue. I'd chicken out and run from that).

I especially loved the slang. Like how they mush "super" with an adjective to form words such as "supereasy" or "superbusy." (I can't actually think of any examples from the book).

Flora is one of my favorite heroines in a while. She knows what she wants, but she's also well aware of what her family might think of such career ambitions (perhaps I liked that because I'm finding this applicable to my life. Especially as the "real world" looms larger and larger with each passing month). She's a trouble maker and rebel, but not too rebellious, and has a certain fondness for sweets.

Um... I'm gonna have to edit this some more. I hope I remember before it actually gets posted. Ding!

I think I rated this 5 stars on my Facebook weRead app. I don't remember. I hope I favorited too. I'll have to check on that...
