Just after reading the prologue I knew I'll love this book. Every words here seems like having a magic, a power, and a lesson that taught me to accept what had happened and moving forward

This book contains so much strength and encouragement. There were very few poems in here that I did not relate to. Just about every word felt like it came from my own heart and mind. I look forward to reading more of Najwa’s work as this was my first.

Beautiful poetry, the words just speak to you and touch your soul, sometimes hard to read and other times uplifting. A great work and this is the first poetry I’ve read by Najwa but I’ll defintelt be reading more.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

I am not one for poetry. The first five pages definitely made me go ugh look at all that space wasted when I hit page 29 and started to tear up. The poems are simple but never boring. The sentences are beautifully written, aimed to strike your heart. The linear journey from wounded animal to rising above the pain is easy to read

The book consists of poems and quotes as well as motivation that shows the stages of heartbreak from
the beginning to the end of overcoming it.

Contents of deep feelings that was experience by the author when going through it all. Some might be able to relate to the poetry because being in pain emotionally and mentally can be felt by everyone for the differenct situation that we go through.

Some very lovely poems about healing and heartbreak. Heart-touching and very inspiring.

Enjoyed the book overall

"What is worse
than destroying someone
is making them believe
it was their fault."

This book is a must read for anyone with trauma, or who has suffered any type of abuse. It is gorgeous, but also empowering and truthful. It offers words of empathy, love and support in the form of stunning poetry and prose. A thousand percent worth the read.

This is a good book of poetry that speaks of the kind of healing journey that many women find themselves on at some point in their lives, including myself. I am glad that Najwa Zebian wrote Sparks of Phoenix because I know there are still many people who still need to know these innate truths about pain, loss, and rising from it.
