I've seen other people complaining about there being too much info-dumping in the book which ruined their reading experience, however, I actually liked it. It was clear that the author took her time to fully flesh out her world and all that happened in it. "Like poetry on wings, soaring through ash and flame"Ĭrown of Feathers told the tale of a people still recovering from the aftermath of a brutal war and trying to live in peace in the face of oppression and discrimination.Īpart from the phoenixes, I loved the world building and the history of the novel.
If I could, I would definitely become a phoenix rider without hesitation. It probably increased my love for phoenixes tenfold. I probably love phoenixes just as much (or maybe even more) than I love dragons and I really hoped this book would do these ferocious, fiery creatures justice. When I realised that this book was not only about phoenixes but also phoenix riders I knew I had to read it. i think interesting things are in store for the sequel, so im excited to see where this series goes! Still, this is a fun and easily entertaining novel. i really enjoyed reading about their bond, but maybe thats because that was the only phoenix/rider bond that was portrayed throughout most of the book.
man, if the entire book had been just him and his phoenix, rex, i would have been soooo happy. you have the whole ‘those with magical abilities outcasted and enslaved.’ you can check off ‘girl pretends to be boy to live her best life.’ dont forget ‘tumultuous family dynamics that hide a darker secret.’ like i said, it had every classic trope you can think of.ĭid that stop me from enjoying this? not at all! i loved the phoenixes and i loved tristan. i mean, this story is a YA fantasy trope lovers dream. because to be honest, everything else is super familiar.
Its definitely the showcasing of this very under-appreciated magical beast that makes the story so unique. Well, isnt this just the most surprising adventure!? i mean, i had no idea phoenixes were what i needed in my life, but now i cant get enough!
