3.5/5 stars
This one drops you straight into an intriguing world. It has all the makings of a sweeping epic: a prince trying to claw back his reputation, a young woman dodging marriage expectations, and a thief trying to deliver a warning. The setup is compelling, the stakes are solid, and the world feels like it’s on the verge of something big. And honestly, the characters were what pulled me in the most—I loved their personalities, their dynamics, and the promise in all those tangled threads.
While the author positions this as a fresh entry point, I really think the emotional depth lives in the earlier trilogy and prequel. If you’ve read those, you’ll probably feel right at home. Without them, though, I often felt like I was catching only the edges of conversations that had a deeper history behind them. I adored the cast, but I sometimes struggled to feel the full weight of their relationships.
I also personally click more with this author’s urban fantasy. Those books feel layered and grounded in a way that really works for me. This fantasy series, in contrast, reads a bit younger and leans more into familiar territory. The storyline around purity culture—especially as it intersected with sex work—took up a larger portion of the narrative than I expected. Because I’m staunchly pro–sex worker and firmly anti–purity culture, that thread didn’t land for me the way the book intended. And the scandal surrounding a prince in a brothel felt odd, considering that particular outrage rarely holds water in most fictional (or real) courts.
Still, there’s a lot to appreciate. The side characters steal scenes effortlessly and the broader world-building (fae politics, looming danger, secrets) is really interesting. Glen’s thread in particular had a lot of emotional weight behind it. And Ling’s world-building instincts are as strong as ever.
In the end, I did enjoy the book, even if it didn’t quite align with my tastes in the way her other work does. I’ll always show up for this author, no matter what she writes. Romantic fantasy readers will absolutely be comfortable here.

A Song of Sin and Symphonies captured my interest immediately. I won’t lie—at first, the beginning of the story felt a bit awkward in terms of dialogue, but the more the author wrote, the more natural and confident her voice became as the story progressed. By the time I was a few chapters in, the writing felt natural.
I absolutely loved the banter within the dynamic friend group; it made me crave friendships like that. Their interactions felt genuine, warm, and full of personality. The author wrote the characters so beautifully, giving them a sense of realness that made me feel as though I was right there with them. Each character had depth, vulnerability, and humour, which made their relationships feel lived-in rather than manufactured.
There was never a moment when I felt like speeding through, because I was fully immersed in the story. Even though the plot and romance were on the lighter side, they were still incredibly enjoyable, and the pacing of the book was perfect for the storyline. It never dragged, yet it also never rushed moments that needed emotional weight. The themes of family going through trauma, healing, and understanding were handled with care, making the characters’ experiences deeply relatable.
On a side note, I gave this a four-star rating solely because I found myself craving a more in-depth plot—something with higher stakes or twists that would keep me fully on my toes.
Overall, this book felt refreshing—soft, emotional, and unexpectedly comforting. It’s the kind of story that lingers with you after you’ve put it down. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, and I’m genuinely excited to read the next adventure. Thanks to Book Siren for sending an advance review copy written by Linda Ling for free! Appreciate it. ୨ৎ

A Song of Sins and Symphonies, Hall of Doors Book 1
This story took its time. It was slower paced and very character driven, focused mainly on their interrelationships with occasional action. It calls back to, and is often reminiscent of the previous series. Without reading it, I don't think this one could be enjoyed as much with the prior information needed to have so many side comments or history to make sense. Was sort of a shame, because the characters this focuses on can stand on their own. I thought Glen the vampire and Teena the siren were quite pleasant. They have such promise of fun interactions in the future.
The story by the way.. the crown prince and his long lost childhood acquaintance bump into each other after a jewel thief. While they are reacquainted, a warning towards the kingdoms and fae in particular, from the long locked away vampires sets craziness into motion.
Made for a so/so read. Lot to keep straight. Best in action or during scenes with certain characters.

💜🎶A Song of Sins and Symphonies ARC Review 🎶💜
⭐⭐⭐✨✨ (3.75, rounded up)
🫑
Every song has a cost. Every symphony demands a sacrifice. When love is the spell she cannot control, he is the sin she cannot stop singing. Fate controls this score—or does it?
🫵🏼 ASOSAS is for you if you:
• love magic systems tied to the arts
• appreciate stories rich in symbolism
• love beautifully "broken" characters
• enjoy romance that's slow burn and rife with tension, but nothing explicit on page
• appreciate a lush, immersive, and creative world
• are a sucker for a solid found family with great group banter
📖 Pairing music-related imagery with moral conflict drew me in. Partially because I haven't read something with that, but also because I found it incredibly interesting.
I appreciate the discussion of creating beautiful things (like the art of music) can have a moral cost. Artistic ambition can collide with harm to others (intentional or not), self-sacrifice, or corrupting influences. Basically, the aesthetic and the ethical are tangled.
I love that we get music as a metaphor for self-expression. Whose song is heard, who is silenced, and how finding/losing a voice is affects both identity and agency.
As much as I enjoyed the plot, I felt like I never fully connected. Or maybe like I was missing some background information. Like I was coming in to a conversation late, or clicked started on episode 2 of a series. With my brain where it is, it could just be that. Also, as someone who isn't a fan of purity culture, it had some content that was too heavy (in my opinion) on purity culture - for my personal tastes. Additionally, I wanted the plot to dig deeper. As much as I appreciate the themes (trauma and healing, in particular), I'm more of a the deeper, the better type person.
I haven't read anything else by this author, but will definitely read more in the future (including continuing this series).
✍🏼 I admit I'm possibly way overthinking this aspect, but I'm including it anyway in case I'm not. 😂 Ling's use of diegetic musical descriptions (things like timbre, rhythm, tempo, etc) to show emotion rather than explain it in words - masterful work, in my opinion.
I also love that chapters are structured in a way that feels like musical movements (eg allegro, adagio, finale). I think it makes the reader feel the experience, feel the escalation, feel the catharsis, etc).
The dialogue in the very beginning felt a bit stilted, stiff. Initially, I wasn't a fan of that but then two things occured. One, I realized that it was likely intentional due to the topic(s) being discussed. And two, I realized it was likely done to show the status and relationship between those talking. The rest of the dialogue isn't like that, which is one of the biggest reasons I believe that to be the case.
✨ If you aren't well versed in all things music: I don't think you'd miss out the feel experience reading this as I didn't feel it crossed over into esoteric.
I also love that Ling often uses synesthetic language - turning sound into color, taste, or touch. For me, it dramatizes can impact a person.
Ling even gives us 'musical dissonance' in that we get opposites pairings. By pairing characters whose "melodies" oppose one another so that reconciliation or tragic collision becomes inevitable.
⏳ Fairly fast paced (or maybe I should say cadence to tie music back in 😆), this was a pretty quick read for me. It didn't feel rushed, just didn't have errant wondering. Well executed
🗺️ mmersive, and well built world. It's richly described and expansive and I love the role music plays in it. haven't seen that much in fantasy so I appreciate the fresh take. With ample lore to enrich the world with political machinations adding complexity, I found the world intriguing.
🔮 Well developed and explained, I both love and appreciate the variety of magic Ling gives us.
👥 Solid characters and development, full of character. I love their relationships with one another and banter. The side characters were interesting and I hope to see more of them in future installments. I love that Ling slightly differentiates her fae, sirens, and vampires a little bit from the "standard" versions we often get in fantasy.
However, I also felt like I was missing a piece here and it took away from the emotional impact these characters had on me. I didn't feel their connections like I prefer to. Or maybe it was too many characters for my current brain to track and attach to. There were a lot of characters and a lot of moving pieces, so I can see this possibly being why I felt disconnected.
💖 Childhood friends-to-lovers, but there's oh so much more between childhood and current day. I love that it starts off tentatively, with the brush of a shoulder, a lingering look, etc. Serves well to amp up the tension.
Thank you to @ Linda ling and @ book sirens for the opportunity to read this eARC. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

At first, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, having not read the previous trilogy or prequel. There was mention of magic and the tension between the humans and mages was brought up a lot, but after the introduction to the jewel thief, the story really took off.
We were given a plot within a plot and then I felt like I was twisted off into a bunch of side quests. Then it all comes together nicely at the end. It did seem like things were a little too easy for the characters at times, but it didn't truly take away from the story. There was still plenty of tension and even after the last page, questions were left unanswered.
I'm not used to a book ending without a dramatic cliffhanger, but it was honestly refreshing to not have some crazy reveal in the last chapter. Instead, the unresolved plot left me with just enough to keep me interested in continuing the series.

What an incredible adventure!
This was one of the first books I've read by Linda, and I absolutely loved it. Refreshing, bright in a fun and memorable kind of way, and highly enjoyable. I loved the world we're introduced to, the magic system is unique in its own right, and the found family theme. Found family is quite possibly one of my favorite tropes in the world, so it was an instant love for me when I discovered this story explores this.
What stood out to me was the immense relationship with music and the story/themes/symbols/characters. This was such a unique take on storytelling, and I found it enchanting and brilliant. I am not a music genius, and it was still very easy to follow/grasp, and in my opinion, enhanced the story!
Linda has created a wonderful world with a lively cast of characters that are so easy to fall in love with. Well done! I am really excited to read other books by her!

This was a wild and wonderful ride.
Often in books we have the main plot being life altering, in A song of sins & symphonies, we instead get the in between. We get the history of a very recent high stakes war with a prophecy, but that isn't the plot of this book.
It was an intriguing story, high fantasy, some romantic subplot, but getting the story in between was fantastic.
The characters were fun, you get to know them, and want to know them better. Highly recommend it.
Thank you book siren for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

3.5 stars - I really liked the main characters which made me invested in the story, although there are many characters which was tricky to recall. The start of the book was slow paced but this built up and I enjoyed the development of relationships between characters. Despite this, I would have preferred more urgency in the plot as it does become higher stakes.
Ling switches between characters POVs which I always love. The world building is complex and initially this felt a little info dumpy. Ling includes fae, sirens, humans and vampires and I liked their exploration or each character type and this didn’t feel too stereotypical.

What a fun book that was! As always, I was impressed with Ling’s vivid writing both in terms of character and in wordbuilding. I actually didn’t know this was related to Ling’s previous fantasy series, though the backstories were filled in so I didn’t feel too lost. I enjoyed the variety of characters and races, the politics and relationships and how they played out within the story. I particularly enjoyed the sibling banter and the blossoming relationship between Faevros and Angelica. It was very satisfying to see a certain plot thwarted, too. Overall, a fun fantasy read for those who enjoy diversity and political intrigue!
December 2, 2025
With well-developed characters, rich world-building and good pacing, this book is a fun, quick fantasy read. It's just what I needed after reading long, slow-paced, dense fantasy. Looking forward to more of the story!
December 6, 2025
Linda Ling does it again with another fantastical squad of characters, bringing back some familiar faces from her other series. A scandalous affair ensues and I'm just in love with the two main characters! What sass, what boldness, and what an unexpected turn of events! Can't wait to continue the journey and hope there's not much more mourning still to occur.
