WELCOME TO THE SAN TAMCULO ZOO OF MAGICAL CREATURES!

Aila has spent her entire life dreaming of saving phoenixes.

She pulled countless all-nighters at uni just to sneak a toe in the door of the breathtakingly competitive field of conservation, stumbling through failed romance and disastrous class presentations thanks to social anxiety, while also surviving a ferocious class rivalry with the (unbearably beautiful) insufferably hotshot Luciana.

Somehow, she actually did it: landed her dream job as head phoenix keeper at the world-renowned zoo that inspired her as a child, tasked with rescuing the critically endangered Silimalo phoenix from the brink of extinction.

There are just two or three (thousand) impossible problems.

1. She can't act sensibly around the charming dragon keeper, Connor.
2. Her plans to revive the phoenix programme are more precarious than ever, after a poacher attack at a neighbouring zoo.
3. Her best chance at success means teaming up with the star of the zoo, the universally adored griffin keeper, the hotshot showmaster of the most popular exhibit . . .

Yes, of course it's Luciana.

Against an epic fantasy backdrop teeming with all your favourite mythical beasts from dragons and unicorns to kelpies and krakens, The Phoenix Keeper combines the cozy fantasy stakes of TJ Klune and Travis Baldree with the heartwarming contemporary romance of Alice Oseman and Casey McQuiston.

Amazing characters!

I had been struggling to read this book physically do I decided it was time to try the audio and it’s safe to say I was not disappointed!!! This audiobook quite literally saved this book for me! I loved how each character and animal had its own voice making the story more immersive.

Loved this so much

I absolutely loved this book and the story. It was nice having a fantasy book that wasn’t heavy in world building and didn’t have to concentrate really hard in that aspect. I loved having a fantasy book that was centred around animals and the conservation around endangered animals. I found Aila extremely relatable with her social anxiety and love of animals. The Phoenix Keeper covered a variety of topics and I honestly loved it all round. I have the illumicrate exclusive edition which is stunning but I listened to it on audio and the audiobook is really good. I will definitely be reading this book again. I loved it so much.
