Hooray for dark YA romantic fantasy and sequels! And huzzah for the amazing Autumn Krause’s new deal for part two of the duology that begins this fall with GRAVE FLOWERS, which Booklist calls β€œcaptivating” in a starred review, Kirkus calls β€œornate and thrilling,” and PW describes as β€œelectric.”
