Wake of the Phoenix by Chelsea Harper
3.0
I received this book as an ARC from NETGALLEY!
I was attracted by this book from the cover, I'm honest. I read the description and I was quite curious about it. But when I started it, I find something completely different. The first pages were very heavy, I'm honest, but I saw the potential in it. I would have appreciate a clearer and better explained worldbuilding, as well as a minimal explanation about the characters, but is my personal opinion.
There are three important characters: Arkaen, Kilasha and Niamsha.
I love the relationship between A and K, I was quite surprised to find this type of relationship in a book! I would like to have more moments between them but is ok.
I loved court dramas and Arkaen gossip, forced to hide his love for a person of the same sex because is forbidden :(
Kilasha is a very complex character, with his very strange power that sometimes overwhelms him.
I also appreciate the story about the thief Niamsha and his brother, with a different and more difficult life than the other characters in many points.
Right now I'm still confused about many political elements and relationships between many characters in the story.
But In conclusion, I appreciate this book and I rate it 3 stars!
