Book Review # 94: Ballad of Love and Longing : Priya Shiva

Received the book in exchange of an honest and unbiased review.


Blurb:

Everybody believes in a fairy tale. Read a ballad which sees the rise of a flower girl to the throne to become queen. This girl understands the language of flowers and showcases her emotions through flowers. The story narrated in this collection of poems talks about innocent love, how destiny plays its role and how lovers find a way to be together.

My Take:

In one word "Magical". Not many have attempted this genre. Reminded me of  fairy tales I used to read and imagine of the prince, princess and their happily ever after. The author has used her creative juices in writing this ballad. Writing a poem is not everyone's cuppa , but Priya has managed to capture our hearts with this simple magical spell of words which starts from the cover.

A girl with myriad of expressions of love and longing is tempting. Her emotions and feelings are beautifully expressed. Aptly written, short and sweet. Do try and you will enjoy getting lost again in the world of magic, dreams and love. Keep writing Priya you have a flair for this too. :)
