A review by esavinelli
The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma

slow-paced

3.25

I was really excited for this book but it kind of fell flat. I liked Elena and Yassens romance, but it did feel sudden how they acted in their feelings. It was such a slow burn it didn't really feel like the time for them to act on their feelings. I will say the plot twist at the end with Sam being the prophet surprised me. I genuinely thought it was Yassen. I think I'll stil read the next book, but it needs to be a lot better.
