Book Report: Flora Segunda

Just finished reading Flora Segunda by Ysabeau Wilce, around watching inauguration coverage. This one took me a while to get in to it. I felt like the beginning was trying too hard to introduce too many unusual things -like setting the stage was a little bit contrived. The story itself is a coming of age kind of thing. Fourteen year old girl finding her place and her individuality- I don't want to give away story details. But the magical world she lives in is an interesting one, and by the first third of the book I was sucked in. I will look for the sequel.
