A hidden agenda from those set to gain sees an interest in ensuring Reiza’s words come to pass, but will the flame princess see the truth, or will she be blinded by her own fire?
Book review: Phoenix by Daccari Buchelli
At its core Phoenix (The Peradon Fantasy Series Book 1) by Daccari Buchelli is a tale of magic, romance, and deceit, cast within a beautiful realm. The characters are well-written and Peradon, their world consisting of four elemental realms is highly imaginative and beautifully depicted. The characters are each unique, individual in heart and mind, and their motivations are real spanning from love to power, weaving their desires into the very fabric of their own story arc. The narrative style is easy flowing, making it an ideal read for young adult / adult.
