This is a Red Rising meets Scorpio Rising novel. This follows three Phoenix riders that are skilled in alchemy who must compete in the races. Each year the gods gifts the Phoenix horses and you must race them. Will they be able to race and win?
Okay, here’s the thing. I got the arc of this in 2019 and I slacked on reading it. I got the audiobook and finished it in a day. I wasn’t going to, but with Riot wanting to go to the park and me making a dinner that takes forever to prep, I finished it. I really liked the characters. I did find the two females confusing and kept getting them mixed up. I liked the alchemy. The ending was oh my gosh. I’ll read the sequel.
