The Phoenix King by Aparna Verma
5.0

A very exciting debut for fantasy/science fiction lovers!! My only critique is that the world building happens without much grace to the reader. So many new words/lands/concepts/creatures/people are thrown out in the first few chapters that it’s hard to get your bearing. But I loved this world even more than I hoped, even after realizing it’s more scific than fantasy (or maybe equal?). Can’t wait for book 2!!
