Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry


Listen Later

This week I’m taking a deep look at the brand new romantasy Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry. This is a rich, emotionally layered fantasy looking at a blend of light-hearted and deep topics, including duty and survival as well as the quiet rebellion of a heroine who’s been overlooked all her life.

With a backdrop of dangerous creatures, political tension, and a marriage forged through ancient magic, this one offers slow-burn dynamics, fierce training scenes, and a world where power is rarely what it seems.

As with every single episode, while I take a look at the views of others (to keep things just a little bit more balanced), ultimately, the views are mine. I'm going to be talking through the world-building, the pacing, character dynamics, and whether the romantic tension kept me turning pages, or just turning up my eyebrows.

As always, everything remains completely spoiler-free and is 100% honest, because what's the point if it's not?

If you’re into brooding protectors, blood-bound rituals, and heroines who earn their power step by step, this might be one for your TBR.

And don't forget to stay tuned for the second, shorter review. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn. Let’s just say... I had feelings.

So, pop the kettle on, get comfy, and let’s talk books.
