Things in the Domain are different than they were on Earth. For one thing, death there holds no promise of rebirth into another realm. Fairhaven is an energized and diverse city with many neighborhoods including the Wilted Flower District, where Violet lives with her adoptive family. Having lost her parents many years ago, Violet relies on her brother, Weylin, and her best friend, Deena, for support while concealing the truth from her adoptive mom, Ivy, whose help she needs the most.
Determined to solve the mystery and reunite her family, Violet confronts her own beliefs, the political order, and the physical world. The question is how far is she willing to go?
MY REVIEW
I was a little reluctant to read this book as I am not one to be intrigued by futuristic novels, but I must say, I really enjoyed this read! Violet is a young girl who, with with the help of her mother and brother Weylin, is trying to find her missing sister Ophelia who has resurfaced after having being missing for four years, but quickly disappears again.
Throughout the book the trio find themselves entangled in lies, mistrust and murder, but nothing is going to stop her from finding Ophelia. Violet is willing to do whatever it takes to bring her family back together, even if it puts her own life in danger.
The plot itself was very interesting. I found myself being able to relate to Violet as we both hold family as a high priority in our lives. The book was well written and the dialogue made me want to continue until the end. I highly recommend this book, this is the second book in the Forgotten Violet series, but you definitely do not need to read book one in order to follow along The Wilted Flower District.
