Shadowscent: Review

Title: Shadowscent book 1 of The Darkest Bloom
Author: P.M. Freestone
Rating: 3.5 stars
Review: This book has a unique story that you have never heard before. I was really amazed by how the author thought of writing something that I have never read before. A story about a girl who has a gift for fragrance searches for an antidote for the ill prince is an amazing story. This book was fast and had strong, developed characters. I loved the slow-building romance/relationship between Rakel and Ash because usually, books have a fast romance for characters like love at first sight. But these characters got to know each other more and developed their feelings throughout the whole book. Another thing about the characters in this book was that I didn't feel connected to them but I liked their characteristics and who they were. I don't know if it makes sense but that's how I felt. Some of the reasons why I didn't really like this book was because it was super fast that you didn't get to read about the place/conflict as much. The plot was well structured but the author didn't stay on one topic or much time and sped it up a little. The ending was really good and I liked how it ended. I think this is a must-read book because it's a story about having a gift for fragrances which I never read about and it's different so you want to get the feel of it.

Publisher: Scholastic Press
Genre: YA Fantasy
Age: 12 and up

About the book:
Rakel has an uncanny gift for fragrances, but even in a world where scent is linked to power and prestige, her skills aren't enough to save her dying father.

Ash bears the tattoos of an imperial bodyguard and is duty-bound to join his prince, Nisai, on a dangerous mission. It's a challenge protecting Nisai on the road, but it's even harder for Ash to conceal a secret that could see him executed. 

Rakel and Ash have nothing in common until they find themselves framed for a shocking crime-poisoning the prince. They flee the city and take off on a desperate journey in search of a legendary antidote. In order to save Nisai and clear their names, they'll have to decipher clues and defeat their own demons before the imperial army hunts them down. But even two people bearing the scars of betrayal learn to trust again before it's too late.
