Flower Crowns and Fearsome Things

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.

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.
