From the first line, Braidee Otto had me hooked. I loved every word I read and every second I spent reading this.

Her writing is honestly poetry and reels you into the world she has spun with such delicacy and power. Pure and utter poetry. I have not read anything like this before, the way Braidee Otto weaves words together with such precision and delicacy keeping the reader entranced for the entire book.
The dedication gripped me by the heart and had me teary eyed 🥹
The range of emotions that I felt while reading was on par with every 5🌟 review. Braidee Otto had me giggling and kicking my feet, sitting upright with my eyes glued to the page in apprehension, tearing up to complete sobs, anger and wanting to physically smack some characters, fanning myself because things get a bit steamy to smiling and swooning.
The way Braidee describes The Sorrows and surrounding areas is just beautiful ✨
The character descriptions are phenomenal and you can instantly tell how Aella feels about whoever she is encountering by the descriptions.
The tiny details make this book … it is the little references to birds and the Aviary in statements and thoughts that add to this book and really draw you right in.
The way Greek myth and culture is interwoven into this story is glorious and creates such depth to the story and the world Braidee Otto has created in Songbird of the Sorrows
Aella 🕊️ rules are there to be bent and broken.
Nyssa the best friend we all need in our lives.
Raven is 🥵 🐦⬛ when you listen to how Aella describes him you just know.
The slow burn. The drama. The storyline. The world building. The Greek mythology elements. Assassins. Spies. Plotting. Trials. Someone just hand you a trophy because goddamn.
There is an obvious affinity here with riddles and I really enjoyed it !
That ending. I am not okay. I need more immediately!
