Stealing Phoenix Joss Stirling 8601406475311 Books

After reading Finding Sky, I had high hopes for Stealing Phoenix. Let me say that it did not disappoint. I enjoyed the first book in this series, but this one was better. Joss Stirling does a great job of creating the interesting world of the savants. I love the closeness of the Benedict family. They are always there when they need each other and it is unconditional.

In this book, Phoenix lives in a world of misery and fear. She is a thief living within the Community. The members are ruled by the Seer, a despicable individual who cares only for himself. She is sent out to steal from Yves Benedict and discovers that her world will never be the same.

The plot of this book is good. I did like that the backdrop and plot is completely different from the first book. The Soulfinder relationship is an interesting connection. I did find myself wondering why is it the guys who always figure out that they found their soulfinder, but the girls are clueless. I do hope that the author finds a more interesting way for the Benedict brothers to find their soulfinders in the upcoming books. She seems to like to make the females troubled and conflicted. I also hope that she makes them a little less annoying. While I liked Sky and Phoenix, their trust issues and reservations made me want to slap them a lot.

Overall this is a good read and I recommend reading it.

Stealing Phoenix Joss Stirling 8601406475311 Books Reviews

Phoenix' life has always been about surviving. Living in the Community meant that you did as you were told. If you were disobedient, you would be punished by the Seer, their leader, whom could easily mess with your mind.

So far she has been able to stay out of his way, but everything goes wrong when Yves becomes her next mark. Phoenix has to steal from him, but when they discover they are soulfinders her world turns upside down.

Living life from the sidelines has made Phoenix wary. She doesn't know what it is to have a normal life, a loving family, not having to live in constant fear and survival mode. Her mother made her believe that finder her soulfinder, might be her only way out of the Community. But now Yves is standing right in front of her, she's doubting. They are from opposite sides of the tracks and she doesn't want to involve Yves in her life.

Yves luckily is very stubborn, an obvious family trait, and he's not going to give up so easily. It's what every Savant dreams of, finding their soulfinder. He just didn't expect his would have been trying to steal from him. But it will be a fun story to tell the children one time.

Before they have the chance to enjoy this wonderful discovery, the Seer finds out and suddenly becomes very interested in Phoenix and her connection to the Benedict family. Since Phoenix is under his order, she has no choice but to obey him and that's when it all goes horribly wrong. Everything she has tried to prevent comes crashing down. Now she and Yves have to find a way to get out from under the Seer's thumb.

This was a great sequel. Yves is the smartest and sweetest boy from all the Benedicts. He and Phoenix are total opposite, so just sit back and enjoy the fireworks. They do pretty much nothing else but arguing. She wants to protect him from the Seer and he's thinking the same for her, but they have different ideas on how that is going to happen.

The biggest difference between them is how Yves is very confident of his connection with Phoenix, how he wants to protect her and help her. He's had a very easy life compared to her, so he doesn't always fully understand how her world works. Phoenix is not so sure that what's between them is meant to be, she has her doubts and is afraid Yves might get hurt if they would stay together. It's mostly her doubts and his stubbornness that gets them in trouble.

Stealing Phoenix has a lot more action than Finding Sky. From the first page you realize the threat has always been there, you're right in the middle of it and it's not going to be so easy to get out of it. You get a great point of view of what could happen if you grow up outside the Savant Net. The Benedicts are lucky, but it hasn't been so easy for everyone. Luckily for Phoenix, Yves would walk through fire for her.

Besides all the action there is of course space for some romance, you do have two Savants who found their soulfinder. So between all the action and the drama, you get some lovely scenes with London on the background.

It's also always fun to even just read the difference between American and British English, it even has it's effect on the humor in the book. Definitely a great mix.

One thing I do wonder is why it's always told from the girl's POV, considering the series are about the Benedicts. So the girls are the new one's, but they get to tell their story. I think it would be very interesting to see the Benedict boys' side of the story, to get a better look at their family dynamic.

Following in the footsteps of its predecessor "Finding Sky" the cover to "Stealing Phoenix" is also elegant. I absolutely love it! We get an imaginative look at a phoenix. The trick is having read the first installment of this wonderful series do I know I will not be reading about a mythological bird..

Stirling must be her own genie in a bottle stealing her title straight from the pages of creative writing. Not only is Phee stealing to survive, but Yves is stealing for love. Joss Stirling managed to stun me as she continued to weave a plot with more mystery and utter heart breaking moment that seized my very breath.

Stirling didn't slack on character development as she intertwine the plot and characters from book one and built a solid foundation for the series to thrive upon. "Stealing Phoenix" begins in England were Yeve's is on a educational outing and takes you on a emotional journey full of up's and down's; twist and turns. You will be on the edge of your seat, with tear stained cheeks and hope in your heart unable to turn the pages fast enough.

This was another terrific read from Joss Stirling and she ends the story with a flourish of family love. I honestly can't wait to read more about the Benedict Brothers in books to come!!
