Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon
4.0

I've kind of gotten away from reading a lot of fantasy books because they were all starting to feel the same. Not this one! It's one of those unique stories that manages to feel slightly familiar, but otherworldly and almost historical at the same time.

Ai-Ling's father was called to the Emperial Palace, but he's been gone way too long. Ai-Ling leaves her mother to go retrieve her father. On the way she encounters many dangerous creatures that were thought to exist only in myths. She also meets two brothers who help her as she discovers who she was in a past life and the kind of young woman she really is.

Recommended for high school.
