Night of Death and Flowers

I enjoyed Night of Death and Flowers, and wished it had kept going!

Callista was a great FMC, I loved her skeptical nature, questioning attitude, and overall boss babe vibe. She has a secret dark power that no one is supposed to know about, and she tries not to let it bother her.

Azkiel is a bundle of joy... I mean a trauma suppressed god of death who is arrogant and bewildered by Callista. I loved it so much, I could live off of their interactions!

The island portion of the book was a-la hunger games style, and I can never get enough of these types of story lines. I just find them so interesting and good!

The way the magic worked was great, I enjoyed seeing how it manifested in each type and character.

While I truly enjoyed the story and the whole island portion of the book, I felt like the relationship between her and Azkiel was forced to progress and it didn't need to. I personally felt like the tension between them was enough for this book, and they did not need to *seal the deal* towards the end. It didn't make a ton of sense to me, but I get it!

I am SO intrigued about what happens in book 2, because I feel like things are about to get so much more interesting!
