The Phoenix Keeper by S.A. MacLean

DID NOT FINISH: 29%

The world building seems very poor. This story could exist in a real life zoo and nothing would be different. I suspect that it’s not in a real zoo because then the author would have to do research. There’s like a totally made up world but no explanation of any of it? Also I’m 134 pages in and the main character keeps lusting after a man (with no buildup towards the female love interest) which is disappointing since this is marketed as a queer sapphic romance.
