A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A. Brown

5.0

I was in the mood for a fresh fantasy novel, and sought out this book because of its great title, cover, and because I’m trying to read more novels by diverse authors. It was great. At first the book spoke to me in gibberish as the names, places, and things in this new world were unfamiliar. But I appreciated that the author didn’t spoon feed me. And I plowed onward and was rewarded with rich characters, a cool tournament to test champions, magic (of course!) and an ending that wasn’t happily ever after. I’ll be continuing in the series for sure. Recommend!
