The Rise of the Phoenix by Mason Sabre

3.0

This was a quick read. It's listed as a prequel to the rest of the Society series. Tracy discovered it and recommended it. It was the sad tale of a 13 year old boy who is changed from Human to Other and loses his friends, family, home and way of life as a result. It really grabbed my heartstrings and hurt me to read it. I did struggle with the writing, however. It was challenging to get through at times. Still, I'm curious enough to read a full-length novel set in the same world.
