This is a fun, fast-paced buddy comedy/urban fantasy mash up that feels a bit like a throwback. The magical system is fun and the phoenix nature of the lead (well, one of the leads) causes some original scenarios where dying really is the best option.

This book is tropey, but in a good way. You get a lot of details that make you feel like you're in a Star Wars universe or SciFi Video Game. A lot of different worlds to visit.
There's also a very fun forbidden romance.
Fun, fast paced, and while it ends with a lot of open-ended details, leading into sequels, overall satisfying.
