Book Description

March 29, 2011

The Gods have abandoned Ai Ling.

Her mysterious power haunts her day and night, and she leaves home—with just the moon as her guide—overwhelmed by her memories and visions and an unbearable sense of dread. For Ai Ling knows that Chen Yong is vulnerable to corrupt enchantments from the under-world. How can she do nothing when she has the skill and power to fight at his side? A dream has told her where he is, the name of the ship he is traveling on, his destination. So she steals off and stows away on board.

The ocean voyage brings with it brutal danger, haunting revelations, and new friendships, but also the premonition of a very real and terrifying threat. Zhong Ye—the powerful sorcerer whom Ai Ling believed she had vanquished in the Palace of Fragrant Dreams—is trapped in Hell, neither alive nor dead. Can he reach from beyond the grave to reunite with Silver Phoenix and destroy Chen Yong? And destroy whatever chance Ai Ling has at happiness, at love?

In this sequel to the acclaimed novel Silver Phoenix, four lives are woven together and four destinies become one, now and forever.

is a young adult fantasy inspired by ancient China. The novel
has received starred reviews from Booklist and VOYA and was
named as one of the top sf/fantasy reads for youth in 2009 by
Booklist.

some of my favorite books include anna karenina, LOTR, a fairly
honourable defeat, gifts, tehanu, the other wind, the queen/king
of attolia, and the graveyard book. childhood favorites include :
a little princess, island of the blue dolphins, a wrinkle in time,
dancing shoes and ballet shoes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down! September 23, 2011
By Nikki G
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fury of the Phoenix could not have been better! I had long awaited a sequel to the amazing beginning of Silver Phoenix, wanting a glimpse into the life of the mysterious woman before Ai Ling came into the picture. The author did not let me down! I found myself wrapped into two tales, a continuation of Ai Ling's, and the stories from Zhong Ye's past.
If you loved the first book then I highly recommend the second one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sequel will satisfy May 17, 2011
Format:Hardcover
Cindy Pon's fans will not be disappointed with this sequel to Silver Phoenix. In Fury of the Phoenix, Cindy's imagination soars as she once again creates a fantastical world. The sequel gets off to a fast start, and although there isn't as much action as the first book, the plot twists keep the reader turning the pages wondering what new revelation is coming. Cindy weaves together the story lines of four characters, and fans will appreciate the romantic tension between Ai Ling and Chen Yong. Questions raised in Silver Phoenix are answered in a surprisingly satisfying way. Way to go Cindy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Fantasy! July 19, 2012
By Hepius
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Fury of the Phoenix is the sequel to Silver Phoenix and follows Ai Ling and Chen Yong as they travel to Jiang Dao (Chen Yong's birth father's homeland). The novel is split between Ai Ling's and,unexpectedly, Zong Ye's perspectives. Zong Ye (the villain of Silver Phoenix) returns in spirit form to haunt Ai Ling. The great thing about the Zong Ye character is that we learn of his origins and he becomes a complete character. In Silver Phoenix he was just "The Bad Guy" and we didn't know much about him. In Fury of the Phoenix he becomes a real person. Ultimately not a nice one, but a real one. He's a great character.

Ai Ling spends much of her part of the novel either on board the ship taking her and Chen Yong to Jiang Dao or in in Jiang Dao itself. I have only two minor complaints with the novel and both have to do with setting. The opening scene of the novel has Ai Ling very improbably boarding and stowing away on a sailing vessel (at sea). It is impossible for me to imagine it happening as described and put me off in the first chapter. The second complaint has to do with the country of Jiang Dao. The author states in the afterword that Jiang Dao is not supposed to be Europe. Unfortunately, Xia is so clearly inspired by ancient China that I was constantly attempting to figure out which European country was supposed to be Jiang Dao. Don't do this. Jiang Dao is a completely fabricated country containing an assortment of elements of European culture.

Here's the good news: Fury of the Phoenix is excellent! It reads as a straight-up, grown-up fantasy novel and I was completely engaged throughout. The story of Ai Ling and Chen Yong's journey and relationship was well-written and perfectly paced. Having said that, I was even more engrossed by Zong Ye's story of his descent into evil. If a major draw of Silver Phoenix was setting and action, the big draw of Fury of the Phoenix is character and discovery (and a great lead-up to a thrilling climax). I highly recommend both books and look forward to the author's next work.
