Nothing earth-shaking, but a pleasant read. Willig is usually literate and often amusing. However improbable her flower stories, I'm happy to suspend my disbelief, although she pushed things a little too far this time around. (Discreet silence here, lest I spoil the plot for anyone.) Willig seems to have wrapped The Betrayal of the Blood Lily up in a hurry, judging from the sheer number of floral characters who popped up in the last few pages. Strangely, I have no recollection of meeting the blood lily. Unless I was a careless reader, I assume that Willig was operating on a figurative basis when she chose her title.
