Raves and Reviews
“A powerful, deeply moving book that is a wonderful read, without question one of the best of the year.” -- Every Book a Doorway
– Every Book a Doorway
"This is a story about the intersection between art and culture; it's about how art isn't frivolous but vital, especially in times of turmoil. A thought-provoking and very timely book."
– SciFiNow
"Phoenix Extravagant is a book containing ruminations on imperialism, the function and sanctity of art, acculturation, and the morality of love. It also contains a bloody big and unexpectedly adorable mechanical dragon." -- Jonathan L. Howard
‘A story of art, love, human connection, the power of creation, colonialism, and the roles we all have to play in fighting oppression.’
“An arresting tale of loyalty, identity, and the power of art... Lee’s masterful storytelling is sure to wow.”
– Publishers Weekly
‘A fiercely original and enchanting new fantasy.’
