World's End
Erica F. Verrillo
- Reading
- If this is your first Phoenix Rising book, consider reading the earlier instalments first; this volume is presented as the trilogy's conclusion, and earlier relationships or events may matter.
- Themes
- Choice and duty: Elissa resists a betrothal chosen by her father to secure his kingdom. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Prophecy and agency: An unseen guiding force moves Elissa towards the Phoenix prophecy's fulfilment, a fate she does not wish to acknowledge. The tension between being guided and choosing for oneself is explicit, but how the story judges that tension is unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Pay particular attention to family disruption.
