The Phoenix Empire #2

From the Ashes

Rate this book
Free from the tyrannical rule of the King of Strata, the Empire of the Last Phoenix struggles to stand against his vengeful wrath. Fighting off slavers, assassins, and groups of raiders, Wes and the still growing military of Selaffe have to figure out what they are willing to do to defend the newly formed Empire. Relentless assaults by the King and neighboring cities of Strata aren’t the only thing threatening the Empire, as the demon sightings are increasing in frequency, getting more violent, and getting closer and closer to the highly populated Capital of Selaffe. What does the Empire do when those loyal to the King vow to destroy them at all costs? What do they do when demons press closer to home? What does Wes do when he begins to learn more and more about himself and his strange powers?

Good story

A good 2nd book in the series with plenty of action, nice plot advancement, and the introduction of some new characters. Some of the fights were a bit unrealistic with kids essentially beating adults but it was a fun book to read so I can overlook those parts. Looking forward to the next book.

Ridiculously enjoyable.

Watching the characters evolve through this story has been a joy. I love seeing Wes’ development, including his continuing humility when he could have gone so very badly. Keep writing and I’ll keep reading!
