this was AMAZING. a 10/10 honestly wish I could erase my memory and relisten all over again! the narration was perfectly cast, I can't imagine anyone else that fits!

This is a solid debut! We have had dragon riders. We have had gryphon riders. Now we have phenolic riders and racing! I received a physical arc and the alc for this debut and one thing I had heard from some of my friends was that they were loving this. I did as well. This year has been a big sports year for me as well as fantasy and in this I feel like I got the best of both worlds. I got the phoenix racing! While F1 has been a new things for me this year I felt like this book scratching my racing itch that I had been feeling, while also solving the “I don’t want to leave my fantasy worlds yet” problem.
Our MC is a 17 year old Kel. Her phoenix is Savita and she ends up joining the Crimson Howlers who really want to win the races. But when her house burns down she ends up having to take a job with the tech mogul who takes an invested interest in Savita.
I really thought the was very well paced. I really liked Coup and Kel. I really loved the twists that Mikayla Bridge throws at us. The racing makes it feel even more fast paced and kept my interest. I am very interested to see what she does next…I am hoping it is something equally as cool as this becuase if it is I will automatically buy it!

The audio was very well done. Narrated by Saniya Ingar who has done other works like “For She is Wrath” which was another book that did very well last year. The audio performs well at higher rates of speeds. I really like how she articulates her words. They are crisp and very clear. I will definitely be picking up more audio books by her. The production of the audio was also very well done. It sounded very clear the whole entire time and very seamless.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the complementary listener copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own
