cupiscent 's review for:
The Phoenix Empress
by K. Arsenault Rivera
Still beautiful; I still love it.
For various reasons, this took me ages to read. None of those reasons was related to the quality of the book itself, but I found it interesting that whenever I managed to pick up the book, no matter how little time I could read for, or how long it had been since I last read, it was still a delight to engage. Every line of this has grace and weight. Indeed, settling more into the weaknesses and strengths of our main characters, I found even more grace and weight and depth to this book than there was in the first, though the nesting narratives sit slightly less elegantly.
Basically, love it, cannot wait for more, am so glad these books exist.
