I got this book and wanted to read it before the Movie releases June 7th 2019. Even though the movie property has never stuck to the original comic book story , Jean Grey and the Phoenix Force is one of my favorite characters/ stories from my favorite Comic book property: The XMen.
So how does this book hold up?
I would have to say the beginning is fairly slow and drags. Unless you're really familiar with what happens before the book you don't have much of a reason to care or understand Jeans connection to her team mates.
Its later in the story as you get more point of views and more background you really feel for what's is happening and begin to understand and relate to their struggle.
Id say you'll fly through the last 50% of the novel. Extra side note, Kitty happens to be one of my other favorite XMen and one of my all time favorite powers. I did NOT expect her to get as much time in the book as she did. So that was an extra bonus for me, loved it!
I originally bought this just as a collectible to put on my book shelf with my Phoenix collectibles/ statues but Im glad I read it. I recommend it to anyone a fan of X-Men whether you're hardcore or not its still a very good look at a beautifully tragic story.
