ASOWAR & APOSAS side by side❤️‍🔥

I can't believe it's already been a year since one of my favorite duology concluded, I was so in love with the world of Sonande that I made fanart for each release to help me wait. Time isn't real 😭

A Psalm of Storms and Silence Spoilers

Idir @ Malik’s mental state:

#I need to clarify how much I love Malik #and want him and his sisters to be in a weighted blanket right now #a psalm of storms and silence #a psalm of storms and silence spoilers #asowar #asowar spoilers #malik #idir #rosanne a brown

[roseanneabrown]

not a question just wanted to say how much I love your books! I thought ASOWAR was great but then APOSAS was EPIC and I have a particular soft spot for Karina, she is the best :)

Thank you so much!!! Malik tends to be the fan favorite, but it warms my heart every time people show love to my messy, brave girl <3

End of the Year Asks

7. Favorite actor of the year?

Pedro Pascal, no question. i do a lot of rping off-tumblr now, and one of my partners uses him as a fc for a character and i. have ended up binge watching a ton of interviews with him in. he's so cute i swear. i love him.

14. Favorite book you read this year?

oooooh, that's tough. but it's got to be A Song of Wraiths and Ruin by Roseanne A Brown!! i honestly loved the book (and it's SEQUEL OH MY GOSH I LOVE THE WHOLE DUOLOGY). actually, i think i love A Psalm of Storms and Silence more? i don't know, i really loved both books.

but i wouldn't have got into either of them if i hadn't read Beasts of Prey by Ayana Grey first, which is also so good oh my gosh i loved it. it introduced me to black fantasy and??? i wish i'd had these books as a kid. just seeing people who look like me in stories means a lot, you know?

anyway lemme move on before i ramble too much about how these books changed my life for the better and gave me the comfort that i didn't know teenage me needed until this year.

(also not my fave but shout out to The Ones We Burn by Rebecca Mix which also fuckin slapped oh my gosh????)

15. What’s a bad habit you picked up this year?

i don't think this is a habit i particularly picked up, but more like one that's just gotten worse which i think is a testament to how anxious i've felt this year: i pick at the skin on my lips a lot when i'm on edge. and i've been doing that so much more. but this year has been stressful for me so. lmao.

The way ppl talk about a specific character in the asowar duology makes my heart ache. Though I almost got there, they could never make me hate u

a psalm of storms and silence // roseanne a. brown

first published: 2021 read: 12 march 2024 – 26 march 2024 pages: 568 format: paperback

genres: fiction, young adult, fantasy, mythology (african-inspired), romance favourite character(s): karina! least favourite character(s): farid can still choke!

rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 thoughts: i was surprised that i enjoyed APOSAS more than ASOWAR! i feel like the story and the writing came into its own, and therefore i spent far less time comparing this book to others i've read, making it a more enjoyable reading experience overall.

as with book one, the worldbuilding and character writing continued to astound. i really liked the increased depth written into our two main characters, karina and malik. the direction the author went in with malik's character was so intriguing and he felt more multifaceted than he previously did, even if i still don't like him nearly as much as i do karina. it was joyful to see karina's character growth throughout the duology. i wish we had gotten slightly more depth into hanane, but i did enjoy how she was woven into the plot. farid was a very well-written villain despite my burning hatred for him, and his dynamic with hanane and malik was so interesting.

[LIGHT SPOILER] there is a chapter written around a character's suicide ideation that i think was incredibly well written, and i think generally the approach to incorporating anxiety, panic attacks etc. into the narrative has been done with a lot of care. i thought the chapter was a standout moment of writing.

i would love to see more of what roseanne a. brown writes! this was a solid duology and it's rare to find a series where there isn't a drop in quality as the books continue, never mind one where they actually improve.

Strongly considering doing an ASOWAR/APOSAS BFCD Reviews by Nesha, if I get a chance, despite a lot of my opinions being about Malik.

"... But two words of advice before I go, though your kind are notoriously bad at heeding it. First, a story ends when it ends, and not a moment before. If you are unhappy with this ending, make a new one." Hyena looked over her shoulder at something Malik could not see. "And second, the people meant to help you are often far closer than you realize."

#there is like no fandom whatsoever #the whole series is amazing and i love it and it was one of my most anticipated releases this year after i eventually read asowar #BUT STILL #asowar #a psalm of storms and silence #ME!

It was the feeling of existing in a world that hated him simply for existing, and there was Princess Karina, the symbol of everyone who had made the world that way. The white-hot rage in Malik grew, and without realizing it he had summoned the spirit blade, his knuckles wrapped in a death grip around its hilt as Nadia’s screams echoed in his ears. The illusion of the bush walkers now had Princess Karina backed against the edge of the bridge. One more step, and she’d tumble into the dark depths of the gorge below. The creatures had paused, waiting for a signal from Malik over the invisible tether that connected them. Time slowed to a standstill, like the gods themselves were watching to see what would happen next.
