Review: A Song of Wraiths and Ruin

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
