3.0

I quite enjoyed the first two parts of this and was curious as to where it was going, but the third part and ending let me down. Some of the descriptions of scents were poetic and beautiful, but towards the end it got a little much at times. I felt like we didn't get enough character development, and I was confused about what to think about Fisher as a person by the end. The ending was so rushed, it felt like the book just ended in the middle of the conclusion. This book ended up just being okay for me, with some parts I enjoyed and some parts that I really didn't. I would consider giving this author another go, though, so a three star rating it is.
