Review: “The Phoenix Charm”
Here is another book which doesn’t fall into the category of “Nichole’s Normal Genres.” Yes, it’s a fantasy, but it’s also a romance and clearly falls into that category.
So why did I pick this one up? Would you believe it was because of the main character’s name? Cordelia.
And why would that name stick out at me? Well, because I have a child with an amazing imagination. When my kiddo was about 9 or 10, she would introduce herself as “Cordelia.” I’m sure that had something to do with discovering Anne of Green Gables at about that time.
Anyway, the combination of the main character’s name and the back of the book blurb made me want to pick this one up.
Cordelia is the official wise woman for the Cornish piskies. In that capacity, she is a seer, who often uses her skills to look into the future of people attached to the pisky court. Her favorite to spy on, however, is the King’s brother.
Unfortunately, she didn’t see the trouble brewing.
When a portal to the Underworld is accidentally opened, the Welsh King of the Underworld kidnaps one of the King’s twin sons. Cordelia must work with the King’s brother to save the boy.
I’ll admit I enjoyed the tale, even with the romantic elements that were far beyond what I normally read. The action was fast-paced and the storyline was easy to follow. For those of you who enjoy romance, I recommend this one.
Blessings!
