The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi | 5 stars
What a ride. This was my first ever audiobook, and what a book to experience in this format! The narrators are both wonderful, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them. Chokshi's writing is extravagantly floral, atmospheric, and lush and quickly sweeps you away in a dark, fairytale-like story.
I can see how you'd have to be in the mood for this though. This book is extremely character driven, and the reader jumps back and forth between two POVs that flicker through time between the Bridegroom and Azure. These two are closely connected to Indigo, a mysterious, ethereal woman who impacts both their lives in twisted ways. The heart of this book is not in it's plot, but a mystery that's slowly revealed through character relations and magical realism that has you questioning the reality of this world. Be prepared for TOXIC relationships (yes, in all caps), deeply romantic prose, and melodramatic horror! I guessed the twist at the end, however I'm extremely satisfied with how it ended. I was not expecting to love this book as much as I did by the ending! Definitely a book I'd love to pick up a physical copy of so I can annotate it's lovely prose to my heart's delight.
