First and foremost, I love ST Gibson's writing. Their worlds are always so lush and thought out, but unfortunately this one is not my favorite book.
While a three star review isn't terrible, as someone who loves their other works, it hurts ME to give them such a "low" rating.
Savage Bloom leads the readers a gothic setting, that is sexy and slightly supernatural. The four person POV was a little daunting at first, especially because I feel like the story doesn't really pick up until nearly a quarter through. I also, didn't feel connected to ALL of the characters. I really loved Eileen and Finley, their dynamic was truly intoxicating. But I didn't care for Adam all that much. I feel like they write such strong characters in other novels that their depiction of Adam didn't do much for me.
Overall, I did really enjoy this book - it was a good read even if not my favorite. I do plan to pick up the next story whenever it comes out.
Thank you so much to Netgalley and Orbit Books for an eARC. All thoughts are honest and my own.
