Songbird of the Sorrows - sweeping symphony of redemption served with a side of sass

 If you loved the angst of Assassin Trilogy by Robin Hobb, the forbidden magics and slow burn of Throne of Glass and are a ducker for a fast paced read with twists at a breakneck pace, then look no further... 📚

Be it the assassin but also princess trope, the love is forbidden but can trust ever sustain amidst secrets trope, or the challenges based on myths - this tale breathed life into all of them!! 👑🗡🐦‍⬛The Rollercoaster of emotional damage this book does is unshakeable!! The found family vibes and protectiveness of the protagonist is firmly cemented throughout her journey and her realization that in choice lies true power, damning the consequences. You cannot, but help, love Starling Aella and cheer her on, despite the zillion red flags she endures❤️‍🔥

And the cliffhanger note it ends on, is unforgiveable!! Where is the rest!!?! Aaarffgg

My eternal thank yous to Netgalley and Random House for this gorgeous tale!! And a special Grecian bow to the author for her fabulous effort!! I cannot wait for the sequel...

A fast paced, sweeping adventure of redemption, self discovery and change with Greeky vibes and political scheming- what more can a reader ask for... sigh
