Phoenix Extravagant

A powerful, deeply moving book that is a wonderful read, without question one of the best of the year. * Every Book a Doorway * Phoenix Extravagant marks a different way of looking at Empire and power and living within, under, and against that than Lee's first novels, but no less a powerful one. A fantastic, brilliant undertaking. -- Waterstones Bookseller's Review A story of art, love, human connection, the power of creation, colonialism, and the roles we all have to play in fighting oppression. -- Paul Weimer ... a smart, thought-provoking book, and one which feels incredibly timely. * SciFiNow 4 star review * Powerful. Unforgettable. This is another amazing piece of work, and I have the feeling I need to read it again to get it fully! -- Stephen Baxter Fiercely original. -- Adrian Tchaikovsky Phoenix Extravagant is a book containing ruminations on imperialism, the function and sanctity of art, acculturation, and the morality of love. It also contains a bloody big and unexpectedly adorable mechanical dragon. -- Jonathan L. Howard, author of the Johannes Cabal books An arresting tale of loyalty, identity, and the power of art... Lee's masterful storytelling is sure to wow. * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
