Deadly Flowers by Sarah L. Thomson

Oh my goodness, this book was SO GOOD. I was captivated by page one, and it kept my attention throughout the entire tale. The action was relentless, the main character AWESOME, the culture fantastic, and all the sneak ninja stuff AWESOME.

I seriously loved Kata. Some say she wasn't kind enough or was too ruthless or whatever, but I LOVED her for it! So so so many female characters these days are not strong or fast or such a kick-rear warrior-- *cough cough* MICHAEL VEY *cough cough* --but SHE IS. She's not ashamed of who she is, she's mistrustful just as she should be, she makes mistakes but totally makes up for them . . . I LOVE HER. Quite honestly, I love how Kata DIDN'T change much at the end. I love her as she is, as she needs to be. <3 You go girl.

And all de little demons creeping and crawling was definitely creepy. Thumbs up for that.

The writing style was unique and I liked it very very much. Sometimes it made it hard to understand because everything moves so quick and feels almost backward at times, but it was still really really interesting.

The ninja stuff was fascinating and I loved it. I loved Kata's training and all her skillz. When you really think back on her adventure and trials, she is AMAZING, and just fifteen!

She's so awesome. <3

I want a sequel super bad!
