A review by kylielovesbooks
The Architect of Song by A.G. Howard
4.0
This book was very different than AG Howard's YA books. It was very nice to see a story that wasn't a retelling (not that I don't like her or anyone's retellings, because I LOVE them). It was such a unique story. I haven't read many books about ghosts and this was just such an enchanting story to add to my list.
I absolutely loved Juliet. Despite her deafness, she found a way to communicate and live with her disability. When she found Hawk and could hear him, I shared in her joy of being able to hear something for the first time in years. I loved how compassionate she was about her family, including her uncle and Enya. I (for the most part) loved her relationship with both Hawk and the viscount, Hawk was a little bit over the top, losing his temper about her falling for an actual human instead of him who was a ghost.
I'm really not fond of love triangles. This one was tolerable. I really did love how the romance ended up playing out. And I loved the on the side romance of some other certain characters as well.
The pacing of this book was pretty slow, it was very character driven. However, I was almost never bored. I was really trying to finish this book before the end of the month, so I had to read about 50 pages a day, and I never found it difficult to get through those pages. The plotline was really interesting and I was so invested in Hawk's death and figuring out his past life, who killed him and how he died.
I was just going to comment on how well this book wrapped up and I wasn't sure what the sequel could be about, but I just peeked at the synopsis and it says it's set 19 years after this one. So, I can safely say it was nicely wrapped up, I didn't feel like anything was missing. I cannot wait to see where this series goes next.
