Filled with E.K Johnston's sweeping, poetic, prose, The Garden of Three Hundred Flowers is a sad, beautiful short interlude between A Thousand Nights and Spindle.

It builds on the tale of the unnamed heroine from A Thousand Nights, and her marriage to the now-demon-free Lo-Melkhiin. It's not as character heavy as it's predecessor, focusing more on its themes of healing, forgiveness, and love. I wish the heroine and Lo-Melkhiin could have found some romance or happiness together as a couple, because quite frankly this really bummed me out. They deserved better, I thought. At some point in their lives.

But as sad as I found this, I also wish it had been longer.
