The Phoenix Crown by Kate Quinn ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 This was good and clearly very well researched, but not my favorite Kate Quinn book. I think maybe my expectations were too high. I did not connect with the characters, which made it more difficult to stay engaged. I truly loved the story about the earthquake in San Francisco and wish there was more info about it. I also liked that the entire story was counting down to that day. I found the story line between the characters was too predictable - I wish there was more of a unique storyline between them. And more of the historical fiction in the book. I did like that LBGTQ+ characters were included, as I feel this is something frequently missing from historical fiction books. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but it did not hit my expectations. LTKGiftGuide LTKFindsUnder50 LTKHome
