Recenzii

Powerful. Unforgettable. This is another amazing piece of work, and I have the feeling I need to read it again to get it fully!
A fiercely original and enchanting new fantasy
An elegant, eloquent novel, tense and full of incident
Yoon's story-telling is mesmeric
A gloriously imaginative silkpunk fantasy
This is a story about the intersection between art and culture; it's about how art isn't frivolous but vital, especially in times of turmoil... A thought-provoking and very timely book
An arresting tale of loyalty, identity, and the power of art... Lee's masterful storytelling is sure to wow
A story of art, love, human connection, the power of creation, colonialism, and the roles we all have to play in fighting oppression
The emphasis on art and painting gives the writing a poetic quality, added to by the elements of magic and mythology, which shows the depth of Lee's research with a deft hand
A powerful, deeply moving book that is a wonderful read, without question one of the best of the year
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
