Shadowsong by S. Jae-Jones

4.0

I’m currently sat here deciding if it’s a 4/5 or 4.5/5....
I have so many thoughts and emotions I can’t even...I’m speechless...

Okay so, if you read my Wintersong review you will see that when I first tried to read it I didn’t like it and I had to DNF it. I picked it up again in January and I LOVED IT. I couldn’t wait for Shadowsong to come out to finish the journey.

I have just finished Shadowsong and I’m a mess...can I just say that at the start there is author notes with trigger warnings - huge respect to the author for including that!

I will also just say that this book is very dark like the emotions they feel are very dark. But it is a seriously beautiful read.

This book is...emotional, beautiful, and the writing is stunning. At times I was a bit confused because it seems to be from 3 POVS and it doesn’t tell you who’s POV it is at the start of the chapter. I managed to figure it out because the 3 of them had different artwork or no artwork at the start of each chapter. But that was the confusing part and once I figured it out I got into it and I loved it.
For the emotions, I like how they were written, my own real life problems have made me feel really down lately but I could totally relate to some of the emotions in this book.
I love the way everything got twisted and I never saw that ending coming!
I love this book so much, probably more than the first one, the only downside is there wasn’t much Goblin King in this one...I need more of him 😍
