I don't know what to expect on "The Phoenix Year" but I am looking forward to see a story that has been worth the wait. I know that the publishing company has been known for its great stories, so we can assume that this one is another high caliber that is going to be worth the wait. I am expecting something different from it because some readers who were able to read it have been telling me that it's a good book and we must read it as soon as possible.
