The Phoenix Keeper and the City of the Sun Book Review
The Phoenix Keeper and the City of the Sun by Margarita Artista is an urban fantasy read. It is the first book in the Phoenix Keeper series. The book features strong female protagonist, Seraphine whose perfectly smooth life suddenly takes a total turn to transform her entirely.
The first thing that I would like to mention is the trend breaking magic system. How the author has blended mythological elements, demands appreciation. The good news for romantasy readers is, it's a he falls first "who did this to you?" read. If one enjoys morally grey characters, this book is a perfect read. I loved the equation between Seraphine and Felix, that is bound to hook readers. I enjoyed how Seraphine's character blooms slowly but elegantly. The book has a gloomy mysteries atmosphere that makes it a page turner. Fantastic dialogues and slow-burn romance takes this book to another level. The language is easy but graceful. It's commendable how the author handles the "found family trope" in a very interesting way.
Overall, The Phoenix Keeper and the City of the Sun by Margarita Artista is a wonderful romantasy on a fine historical canvas that I would like to recommend to all romantasy readers.
