Flowerheart

Definitely more of a light hearted read. Atmospheric cottage-core setting. Victorian time period is always a draw for me. Since it is a teen book, I figured it was more tame and not many intense things happen. I do like how the magic is tied to emotions. I saw it as her anxiety and depression. As someone who has struggled with those things, it was really cool to see it portrayed in this way. A great way to start the conversation.
The focus of the plot is on Clara as she learns to deal with her magic which is anxiety & depression personified. I think it is a cool way to connect with teens and teach them how to work through those feeling and experiences.
Yes there could be more character development for other people and world building, but that wasn't the focus of this book. It is mental health and how to more forward with it.

I enjoyed this!
