A review by studiomikarts
Gift of the Phoenix by Donna Cook

Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

I don't give up on books lightly, and I feel unusually guilty this time because I bought this book directly from the author when she was doing a signing event, but it's been six years (nearly to the day) since I last picked this book up, and the thought of trying to finish it now makes reading feel like a chore rather than a joy. I'm currently doing a KonMari Tidying Festival in my studio, which includes my personal library, so that's why it's finally time to say goodbye. I do want to say that I have a higher opinion of this book than most on my DNF list. There were things I really liked about it! But it needed the heavy hand of an experienced editor. I'm going to put my copy in the nearby Little Free Library that I walk by every evening. I hope it finds its way to a reader who can give it the love it deserves!
