Review Detail

Wisteria had me at forced marriage with an enemy-to-lover trope cliffhanger from the last book. Blythe and Aris’s characters were so much fun to read with their petty games to make each other more miserable. I enjoyed Blythe and Fate's story even more than Signa and Death with their fiery stubbornness and undeniable chemistry. However, I do like that we check in on Signa to learn that she is working to find out who poisoned everyone at Foxglove when she was a baby.
I loved the wonderment in Fate’s magic. He can make anything in his imagination take shape. So, when he finally gives Blythe a beautiful landscape that also works to impress her father just to be a good husband to her, I could not stop reading. The first part of this book was magnificently executed and an enchanting read. Another aspect of the plot I enjoyed is Blythe’s father, Elijah, being more present in this book and the deepening of his relationship with his daughter is lovely.
There were huge unexpected twists in the plot once Solanine’s character was introduced. Honestly, I felt her character was too late to be introduced to the trilogy, and the chaos she unleashes changed the whole vibe of the book. Which is ironic because she is the embodiment of chaos. Her character does allow everything to wrap up but in unexpected ways that weren’t as satisfying as they could have been. Her character also sets off the events that cause the bittersweet heartbreak and unexpectedly beautiful ending to the series. Overall, I enjoyed this addition to the trilogy and there is potential left for future companion books.
