Silver Phoenix Review

Silver Phoenix: Beyond the Kingdom of Xia by Cindy Pon

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Simply breathtaking. I had a hard time putting it down! I finished it in a little less than two days (about four hours to finish reading the entire book).

The story was evocative; I know I ended up actually crying at one point. I fell in love with the characters quickly–each had their own unique personality and the author definitely made them shine through. I did have a hard time with the names initially, but I was quickly able to identify each character with the name because of their unique traits.

I hope to see a sequel soon; the open ending made me long for more of the story.

I’m definitely glad I went searching all over town for this book. The only disappointment is that I’m done reading it.
