it definitely depends on a couple of things: atmosphere, genre of the book, plus how it’s used. in some cases, it can work very well - romance mostly, or stories that have general whimsical atmosphere, but too much of it can seem a little confusing. it can also work for dialogues, but this is a bit tricky, because the characters have to have personality that permits the use of such language.
i like things that evoke emotion, but i feel like this could be done without having to use flowery language. in any case, i like simple writing because it makes everything easier to understand.
