Book Review
Song of the Crimson Flower
Sass-o-meter ๐๐๐1/2
------โ-----------------------------
Quote: "She looked up and saw the love in Baoโs eyesโthe love that had never left him, not even in his angerโand she couldnโt help feeling that it might all be worth it. It wasnโt just the right thing to do; she knew now that even without a spell, it was what she wanted to do."
------โ----------------------------
What this book is about:
Will love break the spell? After cruelly rejecting Bao, the poor physician's apprentice who loves her, Lan, a wealthy nobleman's daughter, regrets her actions. So when she finds Bao's prized flute floating in his boat near her house, she takes it into her care, not knowing that his soul has been trapped inside it by an evil witch, who cursed Bao, telling him that only love will set him free. Though Bao now despises her, Lan vows to make amends and help break the spell.
Together, the two travel across the continent, finding themselves in the presence of greatness in the forms of the Great Forest's Empress Jade and Commander Wei. They journey with Wei, getting tangled in the webs of war, blood magic, and romance along the way. Will Lan and Bao begin to break the spell that's been placed upon them? Or will they be doomed to live out their lives with black magic running through their veins?

My thoughts:
This book was very beautiful, how the author explained the areas in the book were very beautiful.
The book started out slow for me but then picked up towards the last half of the book. I loved the twist in the story of who is who in the book < trying not to be a spoilsport.
I really enjoyed the interactions between Lan and Gao. The part about her ankles will make you smile.

My favorite character who was the sassiest one - Lan
