Leylah Attar is one of my all-time favorite authors. She writes the most original and engaging stories. So whenever I see her pop up to announce a new release, I get crazy excited. When I read that The Night Blossoms was based on a supporting character from The Paper Swan, my excitement increased even more. I didn't really know what to expect when I read the blurb, but I kept a very open mind and let the story lead the way.

The Night Blossoms was definitely a very unique story, and unpredictable. The back and forth between present and past put me off a bit, but it did make the story more mysterious. It was a different way of telling the story, but it did intrigue me. However, it also made it more difficult for me to connect to the characters. Unfortunately, the characters also didn't spend enough time in the present. That was the main thing missing for me. Overall, I still enjoyed this story and was intrigued and dedicated to finding out how the story would end.
