calc1fer 's review for:

The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma
4.75
adventurous challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

In the current market that’s so full of lackluster fantasy with half-assed politics and surface level emotions, God, God, what a truly gripping story. The author has such an incredible knack for speaking and relaying emotions. I too wish to see everything burn. 

I knocked some points off because the romance felt a little forced/rushed in some parts, and some things were a bit predictable. BUT I cried at least two times and am going to shove this book in all of my friend’s faces.
