A Botanist's Guide to Society and Secrets

Rating: 3.5

After having previously read the other two in the series and seeing the third on Netgalley, I had to request it when I saw it on here.

Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed reading this. It fell a bit flat, the plot feeling rushed and less intricate. Perhaps I was spoilt by the other two books, but this didn't feel like it was up to the standard that had been set. If I hadn't read the first two books and just led with this, maybe I would have rated it higher but overall as part of a series, it didn't live up to the rest. It definitely felt more like a way to introduce and setup characters/plots for another book though.

Also, I personally prefer Lee to Alexander, so maybe my bias is showing because of the character time in this book compared to the last.
