This book did not need to be this long. The first half of this dragggggged but I enjoyed the second half. I did super guess the plot twist but I still enjoyed watching it play out.

Poor writing, thr main character was "not like other girls" and "too shy to talk to strangers" 🙄
I absolutely loved this book and the story. It was nice having a fantasy book that wasn’t heavy in world building and didn’t have to concentrate really hard in that aspect. I loved having a fantasy book that was centred around animals and the conservation around endangered animals. I found Aila extremely relatable with her social anxiety and love of animals. The Phoenix Keeper covered a variety of topics and I honestly loved it all round. I have the illumicrate exclusive edition which is stunning but I listened to it on audio and the audiobook is really good. I will definitely be reading this book again. I loved it so much.

Would have given 4 stars but Alia was so unlikable and whiny for 75% of the book. The trope of scientist is bad with crowds etc. is just so overdone too

Lovely book. It was cozy and beautiful. As a socially anxious sapphic who also has an extreme love for animals, I absolutely love Aila. I also had a definite off-feeling about that one character for a while, so I'm not surprised what the character ended up doing.
I liked the romance too, though it could've been better. I loved the animals and their personalities. Overall a good book.
