Flower Crowns and Fearsome Things

i received an ARC in exchange of an honest review, all the opinions are mine.

***
amanda lovelace is one of the authors that i will always come back to and read everything they release no matter what. ultimately, i don't think this is their best work and although it's definitely not to be overlooked, it was a bit of a disappointment since i had my expectations very high.
it's raw and empowering but it feels a bit repetitive when you put it next to all her other poems.
the illustrations were beautiful but i felt like there weren't enough unique ones.
as always i appreciate the trigger warnings placed at the beginning of the book and i think they're very useful and needed.
when it comes to all of amanda lovelace's books i feel like you could easily skip this one but if you have the time and you really want to read it you should.

I really enjoyed the poems in this collection. However, I feel scammed due to the fact that each poem came with an accompanying full-page illustration. Which would have been cool if each one was made specifically for the poem instead of just the two same images repeated throughout the book. I got so sick of them by the end, I would be happy to never see them again. So really the amount of actual content in this collection is only half of the book.

Flower Crowns and Fearsome Things is such a good book. It is very empowering and inspirational, yet it also contains a lot of emotional poems. I think this could easily be one of my favorite Amanda Lovelace books so far.
The reason why I gave this book 4 stars is because it was a bit repetitive at times. Nevertheless it was a very empowering read.
