Thoughts

This week for waiting on Wednesday I wanted to talk about Song of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury. This is the second instalment in the Sorrow series – the first being State of Sorrow which published in March of last year. I absolutely adore Melinda Salisbury’s writing style and her Sin Eater’s Daughter trilogy is one of my absolute favourites. Despite owning State of Sorrow and being desperate to read it I haven’t actually picked it up yet. It sounds amazing and with the next instalment coming out I’m eager to get started on what sounds like a gripping read full of political intrigue. The covers are also stunning and if it’s anything like The Sin Eater’s Daughter, I’m sure I’ll be absolutely hooked. Song of Sorrow is publishing March 7th 2019 from Scholastic Books.
