Beschreibung

The highly anticipated second—and final—book in the immersive fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore that began with the New York Times bestselling A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, from author Roseanne A. Brown. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Renée Ahdieh, and Sabaa Tahir. Karina lost everything after a violent coup left her without her kingdom or her throne. Now the most wanted person in Sonande, her only hope of reclaiming what is rightfully hers lies in a divine power hidden in the long-lost city of her ancestors. Meanwhile, the resurrection of Karina’s sister has spiraled the world into chaos, with disaster after disaster threatening the hard-won peace Malik has found as Farid’s apprentice. When they discover that Karina herself is the key to restoring balance, Malik must use his magic to lure her back to their side. But how do you regain the trust of someone you once tried to kill? As the fabric holding Sonande together begins to tear, Malik and Karina once again find themselves torn between their duties and their desires. And when the fate of everything hangs on a single, horrifying choice, they each must decide what they value most—a power that could transform the world, or a love that could transform their lives.

Slow start, gripping ending

It took me quite a long time to get back into the story and to feel invested into Malik and Karinas separate plotlines again. But around halfway through - for me at least - the pace picked up and I almost could not put it down. The new side characters we met are unique and very endearing. I felt myself really rooting for them alongside the protagonists. We also got to explore outside of the palace and city which made me very happy and was done really well, bringing the country to life. Now to Karina and Mailik - I love that they are imperfect characters. They make mistakes, get into stupid fights, drive people they love away and have to learn to live with that. And lastly they both have to overcome their own tortured minds. Once I was into it again, I felt every twist and turn of their stories.

Das Cover gefällt mir richtig gut. Ich finde es total schön, dass die beiden Bände zusammenpassen und sich die Protagonisten quasi anschauen. Der Farbschnitt ist auch wirklich schön und passt unglaublich gut zu der Thematik. Der Schreibstil ist genauso gut wie im ersten Band. Die Autorin schreibt sehr bildgewaltig und flüssig. Sie lädt den Leser mit ihrer Art dazu ein, auf eine einzigartige Reise zu gehen und ein einmaliges Erlebnis zu erleben. Leider fiel mir der Einstieg in die Geschichte diesmal sehr schwer. Irgendwie ging der Bezug zum ersten Band verloren und ich konnte mich nicht in der Handlung einfinden. Es hat etwas länger gedauert, bis ich wieder genug vom ersten Band wusste und die Charaktere wieder alle zuordnen konnte. Außerdem knüpft der zweite Band nicht direkt an den ersten Band an, weswegen mir der Einstieg noch etwas schwerer gefallen ist. Ansonsten ist es eine tolle, spannende Handlung mit einzigartigem Setting und authentischen, sympathischen Charakteren. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, sich mal diese Reihe anzusehen und sie zu lesen!

"And that's the beautiful thing about endings, for even them coming back together again would not be the end. What seems like the end is simply another beginning." I somehow enjoyed this even more than the first book. A stunning and truly fitting end for this series.
