I first of all read this book in 2020. I re-read again and I must say The Wall and The Flower is a page turner. It swept me off my feet! From the moment Maya, a determined cook turned slave, embarks on her journey to the mighty empire of Hamazar, the story was packed with intrigue, heartbreak, and unexpected love. The plot is very rich and it takes you through palace conspiracies, haunting betrayals, and a forbidden romance that leaves you breathless. In fact the twists and turns had me hooked, and the emotions it stirred—anger, joy, hope—were so vivid, I couldn’t put it down. Precious writing is stunningly visual yet simple, making every scene come alive. If you love stories that grip your heart and keep you guessing, this is it. I adored every page and can't wait for the next installment in The Wellspring Series! A 5-star read!
