I read The Incandescent, which has gotten decidedly mixed reviews from all of you

I fall very in the middle - I enjoyed it, probably won't read it again.

But - am I supposed to feel most sympathetic towards the Phoenix demon? I mean, geez, it was really trying to Be a Human correctly! It was working so hard, guys, and even following arbitrary rules like "don't kill children" and "don't harm people without a really good reason" and "hey, diet and exercise are good for the body!"

I recently finished reading it, and had sufficiently mixed feelings about it that I wrote a longish review (for me; mine are usually quite brief) on Goodreads.
