The Phoenix King is backed by a world of rich worldbuilding, strong characters, and political high stakes. It’s impossible to put down. Aparna Verma created a world that I long to dive into, despite the fact that I do not like hot weather, sand, and also that I would not survive for long.
This story unfolds through three perspectives: Elena’s, Yassen’s, and Leo’s. It’s a marvel to listen to as different storylines begin to merge, and with each chapter, more secrets are unveiled, and I was on the edge of my seat because there will be times that I know more than another character does.
Each narrator was perfectly cast for this story, and they bring the book to life. Through listening, I’m no longer in temperature-unsure Oklahoma, but in the desert, in the kingdom of Ravence.
The narration is crisp, with no part being difficult to follow.
If you enjoy audiobooks, you should listen & read at the same time if you want to see this story absolutely transform.
This story is a marvel. Fast-paced, and enough to make my heart pound. I can’t wait for book two.

A deeply incredible and creative story filled with captivating characters and backgrounds, an immersive world you can’t help but lose yourself in. I can honestly say this has been on my TBR for quite some time but I am so glad that I’ve finally given it the chance it so rightly deserves. My only regret is that the second books doesn’t come out until November of next year and I feel like I will die from waiting to see what comes next for Elena and Yassen and even Samson.
