Silver Phoenix
by Cindy Pon
I wish I could have liked this book more. It has a lot going for it--awesome monsters, a protagonist who is smart and human, characters I was happy to spend time with--but overall it felt somewhat flat to me. Maybe it was the prose, which is clear and fine, but not so much lyrical? Maybe it was that I never felt the danger that the characters were in, or worried that they might fail in their quests? I'm not sure. Anyway, it is worth reading for the awesome monsters, because awesome monsters are awesome.
