Recenzii

"Powerful. Unforgettable. This is another amazing piece of work." -- Stephen Baxter
"A fiercely original and enchanting new fantasy." -- Adrian Tchaikovsky
"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
“An arresting tale of loyalty, identity, and the power of art... Lee’s masterful storytelling is sure to wow.” -- Publishers Weekly
"A story of art, love, human connection, the power of creation, colonialism, and the roles we all have to play in fighting oppression." -- Paul Weimer
“A powerful, deeply moving book that is a wonderful read, without question one of the best of the year.” -- Every Book a Doorway
"The emphasis on art and painting gives the writing a poetic quality, added to by the elements of magic and mythology, which shows the depth of Lee’s research with a deft hand." -- The Nerd Daily
"An elegant, eloquent novel, tense and full of incident." -- Locus Magazine
"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 gloriously imaginative silkpunk fantasy." -- SFX
"A lovely fantasy that eschews epic sturm und drang for small-scale challenges, full of tenderness, brutality, and quotidian living." -- Paul di Filippo, Locus Magazine
"Yoon’s story-telling is mesmeric." -- Starburst Magazine
Named one of the best books of 2020 by Den of Geek.
