Title: A Song of Wraiths and Ruin
Author: Roseanne A. Brown
Page Count: 480
Rating:3.5/5
Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
For Malik, the Solstasia festival is a chance to escape his war-stricken home and
start a new life with his sisters in the prosperous desert city of Ziran. But when a
vengeful spirit abducts his younger sister, Nadia, as payment to enter the city,
Malik strikes a fatal deal - kill Karina, Crown Princess of Ziran, for
Nadia’s freedom.
But Karina has deadly aspirations of her own
Thoughts:
Solstasia is a festival I would like to attend to watch..not participate in. Malik has
an old soul for such a young boy. His life hasn't always been the easiest and now
it's up to him to save his youngest sister and keep his family together. Karina has
lost an awful lot prior to the book starting as well as the first five chapters. Now it's
her time to show the world how deadly she truly is.
The pacing had a bit of info dumping in the beginning but as with fantasies the
information was needed. I enjoyed the Aladdin type vibe Karina created with the
marriage gamble. There is a fair amount of character growth but the plot had a
predictable theme.
I did like seeing characters that suffer with migraines and anxiety. It helped to
see parts of me in the story even if I`m not the intended audience.
TTFN,
Ashley
