A review by anakuroma
Phoenix Extravagant by Yoon Ha Lee
3.0
T.W: Blood, vomit, death, being kicked out from home, sex,
2.5
While I loved having an non-binary protagonist, a huge enveloping world, and the dragon was well worth the wait to get to, I found the romance sub(?) plot the most annoying aspect. Jebi was in insta-love and no matter what revelations and actions that took place, especially ones that would have made most people second guess the relationship, Jebi was just so in love that any concerns would eventually be dropped (not solved). It honestly ruined the book for me, but this is very subjective and others may see it quite differently.
