Sherwood Smith's The Phoenix Feather: Fledglings
Rachel Neumeier (an author I love) recommended this series at some point, and I was in the mood for a well-written and immersive fantasy story--which this was. The main character is a little girl in an Asian-inspired fantasy world, learning magic and healing, and secretly learning fighting alongside her older brothers. Her parents, though, are on the run from the Emperor--and a phoenix feather appeared at their wedding, indicating that one of their children is destined for greatness. (It’s obviously her, lol, especially once she follows her oldest brother to train as a warrior, for those of you who love girls pretending to be boys.) Both of her brothers get brief POV scenes as well. Anyway, exactly the kind of story I was in the mood for and I can’t wait to see what happens next! A/A-.
