I really enjoyed this, partly because the central characters really work for me. I read it and had another bookcrosser in mind afterwards, so I'm RABCKing this to her.
Amazon say:
A masterpiece of the imagination, THE WAR OF THE FLOWERS is a truly epic novel that once again pushes the boundaries of fantasy fiction into new and unexplored territory. In the great city, in the dimly lit office of an impossibly tall building, two creatures meet. Gold changes hands, and the master of the House of Hellebore gives an order: 'War is coming. The child must die.' In our own world, a young man discovers a manuscript written by his great uncle. It seems to be a novel - a strange fairytale of fantastic creatures and magical realms. But it is written as a diary ...as if the events were real ...as if his uncle had journeyed to another world. For the young man, the fantasy is about to become reality.

I reeceived this last week and am only just managibng to journal, sorry! It was a lovely surprise, and I'm intrigued by the few pages I've read so far. Looking forward to getting really stuck into it over the holoidays.
I really enjoyed this one, partly because of the characters which are very well done. I also liked the merging of two worlds and the way they affected each other, and the complexity of Faery.
Passing this on to a friend who I think will enjoy it.
