Narrative Concering Books City of Flowers (Stravaganza #3)

Sky stepped out into the sunshine, blinking, still holding the bottle, and a black man, robed like the others, took him by the arm and whispered, 'God be praised, it has found you!'

Everything changes for Sky when he finds a perfume bottle that whiskes him away to the city of Giglia, an ancient city similar to Florence. This may be the beautiful City of Flowers, but things that seems beautiful might also be deadly. As a new Stravagante - someone who can travel through space and time with the help of a talisman - Sky finds himself caught up in a deadly feud between Giglia's two ruling families. Now, the Stravaganti must do all they can to avoid further bloodshed as politics, conspiracy and espionage unfold.

Judgment Regarding Books City of Flowers (Stravaganza #3)

I can see now why I fell out of love with this series. I liked Sky but we don't really get to know him like we do the other kids; there is so much else going on in the story that he's more like a backdrop to link the recurring characters together than a character in his own right. The plot line with his father seems awkward and a little forced because we don't get to see any more of his personality once the other characters start showing up. It's also awfully convenient that he's into Georgia's

As others have said I really didn't enjoy this book as much as the first two in the series. It feels a lot like Sky doesn't have much to do with the story at all, and he's just there as a fill-in. Very disappointed with this one. Here's hoping #4 is better!

The Stravanganza series never disappoints me. I have this annoying knack to take a long time before I read the next one in the series, usually at least 6 months or even one or two years. And everytime I return to the series and venture back into Renaissance Taila, the world welcomes me home and leads me into the story. You know that feeling you get when you read or watch a spinoff series or TV show and you see old characters from the previous series? Everytime I read these books, I always get

Having read the first 2 books in this series as a child (with their beautiful purple covers), I was disappointed to find the remaining books in the series didnt follow with the same cover art. Nevertheless, I went ahead and ordered the rest of the series, and this is the first one I have read as an adult. An easy, light read, where the characters from the first 2 novels came back to me quickly. Fantastical, but thats what makes a book a good escape.

I don't really remember this last one. Maybe I should reread it.

This was the hardest Stravaganza book to get through - and not because of its length. There was just something about Sky - perhaps it was mainly in the name - that I just did not like, and out of the three family situations so far presented, I found his to be the least interesting and the most irritating because it is a family situation which authors and day-to-day people seem to beat to a pulp. This, combined with the fact that compared to Lucien and Georgia, Sky was a little on the cardboard

OMG, I bought this off Amazon and the seller said it was in "good" condition... like 100 pages are LOOSE! And annoyingly I'd already given the seller 5-star feedback before I noticed this. Sure all the pages are there and in order, but that's hardly acceptable condition, let alone good. Bah, humbug.I loved this third book, but not quite as much as the first two. I wasn't as fond of Sky as I was of Lucien, and I think I really would have just preferred a female main character again! Seeing that
