The Phoenix King is a Fantasy story with Science Fiction elements that add a lot to the world building. I really liked all three of the main characters from whose perspectives we got to see throughout The Phoenix King. They were each very unique in their motivations and how far they were willing to go for what they wanted. I also loved the magic, and how it's grounded in religion. The idea of the prophet was especially interesting to me. I spent the whole book trying to guess who was the prophet! The end of The Phoenix King was amazing, and I'm excited to see where the story goes from here. I also can't wait to see more of Elena and Yassen!

Editied review : overall very forgettable and badly constructed for me + saw a few own voice reviews making very valid points that I didn't see before.
