review 1: - I really enjoyed this story. I think it was even better than its predecessor. I liked the story better, and it was more entertaining for me. - I liked how the book was fragmented and switched between Zhong Ye and Ai Ling. Both of their stories were very interesting. Zhong Ye's story was very enlightening, and it helped me to understand the 1st book better.- I don't really want to like Zhong Ye. He was an evil and horrible person in Silver Phoenix, but I felt a lot of sympathy for him in this book. I enjoyed reading his story, and I liked getting to know him better, but I still want to hate him.- I got a little tired of Chen Yong and Ai Ling avoiding each other and their feelings. I just wanted to smack them both sometimes!!- I like how these books are heav... morey in Chinese culture, but I was also happy that they traveled to a new country in this one. It was cool to see the contrast between cultures.- I wasn't going to buy this series after reading the first one, but now I'm reconsidering purchasing these. - I don't know if there is going to be a 3rd book. It could end with 2, and I'd be happy.The ending to this story is all wrapped up, and I really like how it ended. It feels good to have some reader satisfaction after 2 books!
review 2: I loved this book even more than the first. Although when you break down the two parallel stories into their parts very little happens, when you put this book together with the first it is an amazing ride.Although less fantastical and "epic," FURY OF THE PHOENIX is the epitome of masterful character creation. I think I will now dub Cindy Pon the master of creating the sympathetic villain. By the end of this book I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE VILLAIN! When does THAT ever happen?!I think this book is best read right after SILVER PHOENIX. My only complaint with SP was that it went too fast and didn't focus enough on the details. My only complaint with this one was that it didn't have as much adventure as the first. Put them together, and you have the perfect book. Seriously. So good. less
