Why read it?
1 author picked Phoenix as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book took my breath away when I first read it. An adventure travelling across galaxies, weaving ancient mythology with aliens and spaceships and stars that may literally be singing.

It’s an unforgettable journey.
From Claire's list on fantastic adventures.
