Review of Phoenix Angel (Shardwell #1)
A Surprisingly gifted and deeper-than-usual YA novel, “Phoenix
Angel” starts out with real-life issues, not just the ordinary routine
high-school-drama; and then weaves in superhuman talents, unexpected and
sometimes unwelcome. Maggie and Lily have a beautiful, to-be-wished-for,
lifelong friendship, unbreakable and sturdy. Maggie and the new student Kyle
find love at first sight is stunning, not-to-be-imagined, and not to mention,
it brings on otherworldly incursions as well. Even Kyle and Lily have a first-time
encounter which is at earthquake magnitude.
Everything about this story: characters, plotting, events—is
somehow more-than which is what made the book so intriguing to me. Where I was
expecting routine YA urban fantasy, what I found was a whole lot more, and an
encouragement to hurry-up-and-wait for the next installment.
