Death fallowed his shadow. All around him, plants, withered. Bodies fell. Buildings crumbled to dust. The ocean ran red, the frothy surf stirring a miasma of dead fish and sea creatures on the shores of a dying city, piling higher with each wave. The sun went dark, ans a host of demons flew in the twilit sky, bringing plagues and corruption on their wings.

Bon, ce n'est pas mauvais, il y a beaucoup d'action mais les caractères sont très peu développés. Ce qui fait que cela ne les pas très attachant, même le personnage principal. Le livre manque alors de piquant... Il n'y a pas de romance non plus ou si peu, que c'est négligeable. On découvre un nouveau monde mais encore là, ce n'est pas tellement élaboré. Les personnages et les situations arrivent dans le livre et tout se poursuit sans trop d'introduction ni d'explication.

Résumé
Legend says a phoenix will rise again—but all that remains of the immortal bird are ashes and whispered fairy tales...
Lyra Adams enjoys her job as a rare books dealer, but when an angry wizard barges into her store and demands she fork over a unique tome from the antiquities section, she's not about to let him get away with grand larceny without a fight.
Except it's suddenly very difficult to defend her wares, seeing as the wizard turned her into some kind of weird red bird by flinging a handful of ashes in her face.
Her only hope of returning to her normal, human self lies in the hands of the one man she never wanted to see again: her lying, stealing, sorcerous scumbag ex, James Pierce. The same light-fingered thief who tried to steal that very same tome from her a few days before.
She knows she can’t trust James with her heart or her inventory. Can she trust him to turn her back?
