![]() ![]() The relationships that they had with other characters were fun too. I thought they were both flawed in interesting and compelling ways, and I enjoyed the chapters from both points of view.

Malik is a sweetheart, and I felt for him as he struggled with anxiety and the overwhelming situations that he found himself in. I loved both of the story’s protagonists. The characters in A Song of Wraiths and Ruin On the other side of the wall, the princess Karina is trying to find little ways to rebel against her position as next in line to the throne. Malik is travelling with his younger sister Nadia and older sister Leila, they’re hoping to sneak into the prosperous city of Ziran. ![]() Despite that, the book feels like it has a fresh take on things, and the sense of atmosphere is pretty exciting from the first few pages. My ThoughtsĪ Song of Wraiths and Ruin has a pretty conventional set-up if you’re familiar with YA fantasy stories. The two don’t know it yet, but the glittering festival of Solstasia is about to set them on a deadly collision course, with stakes higher than even they fully understand. Karina, the rebel, the musician, the princess, is trying to balance her sense of duty with her desire for freedom. Malik, the dreamer, the storyteller, the refugee, is travelling with his two sisters, the three of them hoping to lie their way into Ziran. ![]()
