leafblade's review against another edition

Estas sí son 4 estrellas y 4.5. No sé por qué me gustó un poco menos que la primera parte, pero la verdad es que lo hizo.
Yves (cuyo nombre pronuncio como "áivs" y no como "iv", porque cuando avisaron ya lo había empezado a decir distinto) me encantó. Fue una sorpresa que fuera tan adorable y tan buena gente. No me decepcionó para nada, sus reacciones fueron reales y sus decisiones (demasiado) inteligentes.
Phoenix, por otra parte, sí que me sacó un poco de las casillas, en especial al principio cuando lo único que pensaba era en escapar. Ni siquiera tuvo la decencia de quedarse a escuchar el plan (o exigir que se lo digan) y después irse por la puerta como todo ser humano normal. No. Tiene que hacer todo el espaviento de escaparse y de tirarse del puente y de gritar y llorar y volverse loca por todo. Por suerte, esto es algo que avanzó con la historia.
Me gustó mucho ver a Sky integrada en la familia, y cómo Karla las disfrutaba a ella y a Phee. La familia Benedict es una que disfruto mucho porque se nota de verdad que hay amor y respeto (punto abajo para los Maddox: una familia no necesita estar rota para ser interesante). Adoro verlos trabajar en equipo porque encajan tan bien juntos, incluso con Sky que no tiene lazo de sangre alguno, que no sé. Me da como todos los feels hufflepuffianos del universo.
Empecé Crystal y me parece que ese va a ser el malo de la trilogía, a todo esto. Una lástima porque Venecia me encanta.

Deze boeken zijn gewoon zo....lief! Ze zijn grappig, puur, spannend, leuk, lief, romantisch, bij vlagen een beetje klef, soms een beetje clichée, maar ook verrassend. Het voelt als heel fijn om ze te lezen, als page-turners zonder al je energie op te slorpen. Spannende stukken worden afgewisseld met easy reading. Zware kost, met grappige kost, en momenten van lachen met momenten van tranen. Ik geniet enorm van deze boeken. Ja, het zijn young adults en nee ze zijn perfect of hoogstaand, maar soms is vermakelijk met een lach en een traan wel even lekker. Gewoon even lezen en wegdromen. Daarnaast zijn de karakters misschien niet heel 3-dimensionaal, maar wel heel likable en het is makkelijk om jezelf ermee te verbinden. De jongens zijn jongens, maar dan net iets zachter en net iets liever dan de meesten. De meisjes zijn meisjes met een beetje pit en kinderdromen van een prinses. Laat ik nu net zo'n meisje zijn en nu net op zulk soort jongens vallen!
MEER VAN DIT!!!!!! :D :D :D

I actually like this one better than Finding Sky, I don't know why but it's just slightly better.
Very well written and the storyline is good, although somewhat similar to the first book, but that doesn't surprise, still absolutely love the story.

Empecé a leer la trilogía porque ''En Busca de Phoenix'' me llamaba demasiado la atención, y la decepción ha sido como un mazazo bien fuerte.
Monótono y con una historia de amor poco creíble no, lo siguiente. Irreal. No me he creído nada de lo que Stirling intentaba contarme.
Terminaré la trilogía por no abandonarla, pero hasta aquí llegamos.

Really awesome, the fact that (ALERT! ALERT! THIS IS A SPOILER!!!) Yves and Phoenix can't quite get together at the start was so heart breaking, and but i love the writhing the romance the danger... Everything its just written so good and with the supernatrul in it it just makes the book perfect, but the fact that Phoenix tries to escape Yves so many times makes me think that she wants the, drama it kind of just become a game of mouse and cat the mouse aka Phoenix run away and the cat aka Yves chase it, and then finally Phoenix discovers that she can't live without Yves and they gey togehter at last

This book was an exciting journey filled with action, adventure, romance, and paranormal elements.
The story centers around Phoenix, a member of the Community, a gang of thieves with supernatural abilities. When she crosses paths with Yves Benedict, an American student visiting London, she discovers that he is not just her target, but also her soulmate.
I’m impressed by the way the author continues the story of the Savant Brothers with a new plot. The author paints a vivid and intriguing world where paranormal powers and urban fantasy elements blend seamlessly.
And while it was intriguing to read about Phoenix's journey of self-discovery and the blossoming romance between her and Yves adds depth and emotion to the narrative. What really caught my attention, was the resurfacing of Sky and Zedd.
Overall, the story is enjoyable and captivating in a way that seems both magical and realistic – how there’s someone out there made for you, and having met them surges powers in you that makes you a better, stronger version of yourself when you’re together. The writing transports readers into a world where love and danger collide, making it a compelling addition to the Benedict-Savant series.
Favourite quote: “Too often, I experienced life like a heart patient who has undergone surgery and been left with an aching hole in the centre of my chest; in Yves’s arms, that gap was filled, leaving me cared for and complete.”

Phoenix belongs to a gang of Savant thieves called The Community where you cannot leave, however, when she steals from Yves she discovers that they are each other’s Soulfinder, but can she learn to trust someone or will Yves have to betray his entire family to be with Phoenix. Stealing Phoenix is just as good as Finding Sky with a girl with a hard upbringing and a guy who will do anything for her. If I have one complaint is that the romance was a bit too quick as they did not know each other that long. I would recommend this to people who like YA paranormal romance.
