A review by 3dmelg
Flora's Dare by Ysabeau S. Wilce

I finished!! After 3 years of it staring at me from the nightstand, and re-reading the first 2 chapters again and again, I finished! And I'm so glad I did! I don't know what caused my reluctance, but it's no fault of the story, which was engaging and constantly surprising. The mix of half-spanish/half-made-up pigeon talk annoyed me, as in the first book, but once the story takes hold, it merely becomes background noise, another tool to build and establish this very different world.
