A review by looseleafellie
A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown
5.0
This book might be one of the best-executed fantasy novels I’ve ever read! The world of Ziran felt so lush and real, but the rollercoaster of a plot kept me turning pages like lightning. I find that a lot of books tend to lean a little too far toward description or plot, but ASOWAR is beautiful balanced perfection.
One thing that TOTALLY blew my mind was how delicious the character motivations and stakes were. Karina and Malik have such well-defined goals, and it just so happens that Malik’s goal involves killing Karina, and Karina’s goal might involve killing Malik. Nothing personal, you understand. (or is it...?)
Oh, allow me to hype up Malik for a second. SOMEBODY GIVE THIS BOY A HUG! He’s such a pure sweet bean who never asked for any of this <3 If the second book is just 400 pages of Malik getting a goshdarn break for once, I will be so here for it.
In short, if you’re a YA fantasy lover and you want something that brings the full package of awesomeness, you gotta pick up this book!
