A Psalm of Storms and Silence

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.

Fitting end to the series, greatly entertaining. This duology finale successfully combines a quest story, West African inspired world building, and a burgeoning people-led revolution. The plot really managed to surprise me. I’m going through memory issues, so I had to write a lot down, but it was worth it. It’s not a total HEA but each character makes a significant character arc and finds themself on a path with opportunity and hope. In some SFF finales I get really frustrated by inane plot decisions, female characters who have proven themselves to be empathetic leaders giving up power, forgotten plot points, or the lack of real change in a horrible fictional world. Thankfully, this book suffers from none of these things. The plot is episodic in a good way and will have you excitedly devouring the book. 10/10 highly recommend.
