While you can read this without reading the original Sovereigns of Bright and Shadow series, I highly recommend going and reading them first as you’ll understand much more of A Song of Sorrow - and get excited when certain people show up.
I was so excited to continue exploring this world and seeing new parts of it. I found I understood the world much easier in this than the original series. I’m not sure if that’s because I have read the originals or if the world building was just easier to understood. The mages on the isles have different names for types of mages than the mainland does and I picked up on the new vocabulary quickly.
All the found family vibes!
We’ve met Bran, Varlan, and the ship’s crew before, but we were introduced to a whole new cast and I loved Deana and Agnes immediately. Bran’s all grown up now and saving the world himself!
Each of our four mains got a POV, but it felt cohesive as everyone was in the same place on the same storyline. The syndrome of jumping to a different character and slogging through their chapters just to get to who you actually cared about was not present here - I liked reading from everyone’s POV! I hope in the sequels we don’t get more POVs though, four is enough for me.
I’m excited to see where the rest of the series leads. I need answers and I need certain people to remember certain things!
Thanks C.E Page for the copy in exchange for a review!
