Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 382 - A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine, A Phoenix Is Forever by Ashlyn Chase

A Memory Called Empire (Teixcalaan, #1)A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an extremely dense book - not one you pick up and read straight through. I found that I often needed a break so I could absorb all the detail in the backstory and world building. Ambassador Mahit Dzmare has a lot to cope with as both past, present and future combine to keep her trying to keep up and not get killed. The politics are intense and Mahit is both in the dark and a driving force for the future. Book one and there is a lot more to learn about Mahit and her world.

A Phoenix Is ForeverA Phoenix Is Forever by Ashlyn Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Luca Fierro is a Phoenix shifter and Dawn Forest is trying to clean her karma. This is the last of the Fierro brothers to find their HEA and it does not come easily. I loved how Dawn worked so hard to change her life and how Luca looked at who she was now and not who she had been. Of course there is tension and danger as Luca and Dawn work to find a missing girl. Great story line as the Fierro family comes together to welcome Dawn and her grandmother.
