Inhaltsangabe
Bloomsbury presents This Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron, read by Jordan Cobb.
Ever since she can remember, Briseis has had power over plants. Flowers bloom in her footsteps and leaves turn to face her as though she were the sun. It’s a power she and her adoptive mothers have spent her whole life trying to hide. And then Briseis inherits an old house from her birth mother and suddenly finds herself with the space and privacy to test her powers for the first time.
But as Briseis starts to bring the house’s rambling garden back to life, she finds she has also inherited generations of secrets. A hidden altar to a dark goddess, a lineage of witches stretching back to ancient times and a hidden garden overgrown with the most deadly poisonous plants on Earth. And Briseis’s long-departed ancestors aren’t going to let her rest until she accepts her place as the keeper of the terrible power that lies at the heart of the Poison Garden.
Cinderella Is Dead author Kalynn Bayron brings a message of proud inclusivity to this empowering fantasy about a young woman finding the strength to challenge everything she has been told is true.
Kritikerstimmen
"Ambitious, replacing the happily-ever-after with a tragic legacy and a defiant, feminist tone." (Publisher's Weekly Online)

A beautiful book with a great cast of characters
I truly enjoyed this book! The slow pace was relaxing to listen to while the mystery aspects of the storyline kept my interest and left me guessing along. The first few chapters are a bit slow but I didn't mind at all, the writing was so beautifully done that it was just a joy to listen to. The reader also played a good role in that!
My favorite part were the characters though! I don't always like stories that follow a protagonist in their teenage years, but Briseis as a main character was actually really great and following her on this journey of discovery and growing more confident throughout it was wonderful. Her parents are actually really great, supportive and full of character, which is such a refresher from the usual "the parents suck" trope. The other supporting characters are great as well, and I'm interested to see their roles playing out in the second book!
There is only one part that I found sadly disappointing, which is a spoiler for the storyline so if you do not wish to see a spoiler than I urge you to skip the next part.
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
While I loved the character of Marie as Briseis love interest (especially with the inclusion of Briseis' romantic history strongly hinting that she is a bi-, pan- or polysexual main character!), I was so disappointed to then find out that Marie is in fact over 300 years old, while still looking like a 17 year old. The idea of a really old immortal being attracted to a teenager really made me uncomfortable, wether or not she has the body of one as well. I'm aware that this is not the only YA book utilizing this trope, but I myself just really dislike it.
(END OF SPOILER)
However, this actually played a rather small role in the book, so I could honestly look past and "ignore" it and I still really enjoyed it! For anyone in the mood for a rather relaxing mystery with influences of mythology and a diverse cast of characters, I would definitely recommend it!
