Phoenix by SF Said

5.0

We all know I'm a sucker for fantasy and sci-fi by now.
But this was beyond even my expectations.

The beautifully done metaphors that spanned the entire books, the depth of foreshadowing, the connections of the characters - flawlessly done.
I will be making this book a core piece of my repertoire as a teacher. It has so much potential for learning: space, constellations, light, music, creative writing... my ideas as I read were practically never ending.
But arguably more important is its capacity for emotional discussion. The empathy this book teases out of the reader, the curiosity, the questions... even a reluctant reader would be hard pressed not to be clinging onto every word.
