I found it a bit too bleak, and I like Edgar Allan Poe 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️. Literally, the entirety of the book is those two trying to do something and failing colossally, whether it was their fault or just plain old bad luck. Also, one misfortune came after the other, for both Malik and Karina.

It could definitely be a lot better.a bit disappointing really. For one thing, it'd drag on, with nothing of much interest happening at all, nothing mind-blowing or plot-twist y, except maybe on one or two parts. However, the good stuff just about ends here (plot-wise). This time it fit well with the tone of the story. This was a very nice touch which I really, really like in spite of my usual dislike of the narrator referring to the reader. As if the readers are listening to a storyteller encountered in Zirani listening entranced to Malik and Karina's story. Intriguing and to the point, with a storytelling style to it. Still a great book, but not as good as it could have been.Īdmittedly, I hadn't done a re-read of the first book, A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, beforehand and it took a little while to become re-acquainted with the plot and characters. It was not what I expected, a bit underwhelming compared to its hype and the awesomeness that was the first book. Overall, enjoyable for different reasons than ‘a song of wraiths and ruin,’ but still an enjoyable conclusion, nonetheless.

and i think many other readers will find it satisfying, as well. its not your traditional ending as it has more of a hopeful feel, rather than a happy one, but the epilogue is so beautifully written that i couldnt help but like it. and both malik and karina are just as complex and realistic as ever.Īnd i actually liked the ending.

it definitely allowed for more world-building. i actually thought it was great to see more of the world and venture outside of the city/palace. which i didnt mind once i got used to it. if anything, this installment really focuses on further developing the world and characters. The pacing is actually really slow and the plot somewhat takes a back seat. however, the plot is not what i enjoyed about this sequel. I really enjoyed the plot of ‘a song of wraiths and ruin,’ which is why i was so excited to pick this up and continue the story.
