A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown

"Do not underestimate the strength it takes to be kind in a world as cruel as ours."

Wow! I had such a fantastic time reading this dual perspective YA fantasy. I really felt for both our characters. Karina suffers tremendous, heartbreaking lose. I especially connected to Malik since I have anxiety as well, and really understood his thoughts and worries.

I also absolutely love this world inspired by West African folklore which flourished and really came to life within these pages. I was slightly underwhelmed by the plot, but it is still full of adventure, intrigue, and devastating betrayal. I can't wait for the sequel to see how this duology wraps up!
