Silver Phoenix by Cindy Pon

4.0

- I really enjoyed this story. I didn't know a thing about it, but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm glad I picked this up.

- The story had me hooked from the prologue. The story is very captivating.

- The book has a lot of Chinese culture in it.

- There is a lot of food in the story. It seems the characters are either walking or eating. It made me hungry. Ai Ling can really eat!

- While the story was great, the writing was a little dry.

- I enjoyed the characters. Ai Ling was a great female protagonist. Chen Yong was a great warrior type character. Li Yong made me laugh.

- There were some descriptive sex things, but it had a lot to do with the culture and story, so I'm not sure how I feel about it. It was needed, but I wish it hadn't been so descriptive.

- The ending seemed long and dragged out. That last bit was frustrating!! The story is left wide open for a sequel.

- This was a fun book, and I'm excited to read the next one!
