The sun is dying, the windows to Earth are closing. Time is running out.
After the death of her sister, eighteen-year-old Fia Aldridge knows one thing for certain: she doesn’t belong anywhere. But then she tumbles into the parallel world of Ohinyan—a world where angels and witches walk amongst mankind.
An ancient darkness is taking advantage of the dying sun, and Ohinyan needs Fia’s help. She soon learns that her arrival is not entirely by accident and that Alexander, leader of angels, is not the guardian she thought he was.
Torn between their feelings and their duties, together they must find a way to return Fia to London before the darkness consumes her and she is trapped in Ohinyan forever.
A richly woven tale drawing on ancient myths and legends. Fans of elemental magic, witches, shapeshifters and portal fantasy will devour the Third Sun: Daughter of the Phoenix Book One.

The Third Sun Review:
I am not an avid reader of YA fantasy but I really enjoyed reading this book! The story is gripping, the world building is easy to follow, and the characters are entertaining.
The author narrates the story in a wonderful manner. It is simple yet exciting. The story also balances the world building, characters, romance, and adventure in a nice manner. I like reading about the Mizunese and their culture. The author wrote the adventure elements very well. In fact, I was at the edge of my seat on some scenes when they fight the Senkahs or when Fia hears Erebus talking to her.
Fia is great in the lead. I loved how she puts herself in danger to help others. Its always great to read an action heroine who can take charge. There are many supporting characters that I also liked like Noor, Arion, Malachai, Altair, Runa and Maab. Lorn as devious as the villain and was so entertaining to read.
However, there are a few minor things which had room for improvement. For instance, I wasn’t fond of the instant love between Fia and Alexander. While it is fun at times, I found it unnecessary, especially during a suspense moment. Also, I felt like we didn’t get a backstory of Sophie and Alexander. Fia keeps thinking of Sophie, but I wish we had more details about the incident.
Other than that, I loved reading this! I am so excited to read the continuation to see how they fight Erebus. Overall, “The Third Sun” is a very nice fantasy novel.
