Summary: An anthology that will quench your thirst for more than the ordinary.
Everblossom is a journey through poems and short stories that may seem ordinary on the surface but dig a little deeper and the world not only shifts. It changes. (Taken from Goodreads)
Thoughts: Everblossom is a story anthology that has three parts representing the three stages of life of a flower. Throughout the book you see development of the author’s writing as well as some of the characters in previous short stories.
Every now and again I enjoy poetry so I was thrilled to be getting some poetry sprinkled in with the short stories. I really liked all the poems as they were nicely written.
Then there were the short stories. Each one was incredibly unique and they were very short so only focused on a small portion of what could otherwise be a very large tale. It left me thinking about each story afterwards. It made me wonder what had happened before and after each story. I really feel that each story would make a great novel or novella in their own right.
Beautifully written and taking you away from the usual sorts of books I highly recommend Larissa Hinton’s Everblossom to those who like short story anthologies and are looking for something a bit more adventurous and ponderous.

Interesting cover, it took me a little while to figure out what the picture was.
