Yes, water hemlock is lethal if eaten, but you can walk through a patch of it without feeling faint. I know this is fantasy, so I do let it off somewhat, but I felt it exaggerated the potency of the real world plants a little. It seemed so rushed and too much going on at the same time. I should have been paying attention to all the names from Greek mythology a bit more, I thought they were just big fans, but it suddenly took a turn, threw lots of information at me and then announced a quest! The end. Maybe I just dream of being giving a big old country house one day… I love this trope so much, I don’t even care how unlikely a situation it is. They are struggling with finances at the start of the book, so the mysterious house comes at just the right time. It has gothic vibes and a main character in love with botany.įortunately Briseis’ adoptive mothers run a florist, so her skills are useful at least. I loved the idea behind This Poison Heart, and for the most part I thoroughly enjoyed it. When she suddenly learns that her birth mother has bequeathed her a house, she sees an opportunity to help her mothers and find out more about her legacy. It’s always been difficult for her, hiding this secret. They bloom when she’s happy and wilt when she’s sad.
Briseis has always had a way with plants.
