This week I am waiting on
Crown of Feathers by Nicki Pau Preto
Publication Date: February 12, 2019
Goodreads Summary
I had a sister, once…
In a world ruled by fierce warrior queens, a grand empire was built upon the backs of Phoenix Riders—legendary heroes who soared through the sky on wings of fire—until a war between two sisters ripped it all apart.
I promised her the throne would not come between us.
Sixteen years later, Veronyka is a war orphan who dreams of becoming a Phoenix Rider from the stories of old. After a shocking betrayal from her controlling sister, Veronyka strikes out alone to find the Riders—even if that means disguising herself as a boy to join their ranks.
But it is a fact of life that one must kill or be killed. Rule or be ruled.
Just as Veronyka finally feels like she belongs, her sister turns up and reveals a tangled web of lies between them that will change everything. And meanwhile, the new empire has learned of the Riders’ return and intends to destroy them once and for all.
Sometimes the title of queen is given. Sometimes it must be taken.
Crown of Feathers is an epic fantasy about love’s incredible power to save—or to destroy. Interspersed throughout is the story of Avalkyra Ashfire, the last Rider queen, who would rather see her empire burn than fall into her sister’s hands.
Fun fact – one of my favourite mythical creatures happen to be the phoenix. That gives the book an instant plus. On top of that, you have a sister’s betrayal and a world of riders. This book is the stuff of magic and epic tales that will surely have you hooked from the start.
What’s your most anticipated book?

Phoenixes have such a rich mythology and I am all for them getting more of a spotlight in literature. 😀

I love that this book takes the “riders” concept and uses phoenixes instead of dragons. And that cover is so beautiful! I’m waiting on There’s Something About Sweetie by Sandhya Menon.

I think phoenixes are an underrated but majestic creature. I’ve not read a Sandhya Menon book, but I’ll have to check this book out.
