Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Renée Ahdieh, and Sabaa Tahir. The first in a gripping fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore in which a grieving crown princess and a desperate refugee find themselves on a collision course to murder each other despite their growing attraction – from debut author Roseanne A. Here is a short synopsis of the book (I’m actually only going to include a small section of the Goodreads synopsis as I think what they went for was too spoilery!): I finally got around to it this November and it turns out the hype around it was definitely not misleading, I really enjoyed it! There were a few problems with pacing and the magic system was a little confusing in places but all in all it was a fun read and I’m looking forward to the sequel next year. I first became aware of Song of Wraiths and Ruin way back in June when everyone was sharing their Black author reading lists, and added it to my TBR for later reading.
