May Discussion Post for A Song of Wraiths and Ruin
[ID: Two books laying on a gray wooden floor. The red one on the left depicts two Black teens holding hands. The green one on the right depicts a Black girl with white hair and elaborate silver jewelry. Above the books is a curved dagger with a reddish wooden handle. A gold bookmark with the quote “A story ends when it ends and not a moment before” sits between the books. Fake willow branches with white fuzzy buds frames the bottom and right side of the photo.]

My thoughts: I recently reread this book when its sequel came out and somehow it’s even better than I expected. The depiction of anxiety in connection with the fantasy plot is simply mind-blowing! I’m in awe of the author’s writing and very curious to hear what you thought of her world-building…
Please note the group chat and the comments may contain spoilers! Happy reading and thank you for sticking around as we’ve all been battling health issues!
