The Orangery is a very beautiful, literary fantasy story. It uses advanced literary devices (two points of view that are very different) and gorgeous language to tell the story of Apollo as an erstwhile visitor to a protected garden. The trees in the garden used to be women, but have chosen to forsake that form for a life in bark. The Guardian confronts Apollo with his nature.
This is a story to admire, and it's probably a contender, but I like more to happen. The plot is relatively thin here. 3 stars from me.
