I love me some Roshani Chokshi and this felt like a totally new genre for her. I've read middle grade and YA, but The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is something ELSE! It's dark and gothic, fueled by the mystery around Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada and the House of Dreams. The alternating POVs between the bridegroom and Azure only added to the mystery, leaving me hanging onto every word as the story unfolded. I definitely want to read my physical copy because I feel like I missed some crucial clues! I don't know how to properly describe this book, sort of like a gothic Scheherazade meets The Magician's Nephew? The C.S. Lewis vibes are certainly present, but reimagined in a way that feels wholly unique. It creates this magical realism thriller that doesn't quite fit any one genre and I loved it.
