This episode of Lose the Plot, Carla and Emily dive into Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry - a romantasy situation involving cursed realms, forced proximity, marriage stress, and a man whose entire personality is 'stands guard and broods intensely.'

We’re unpacking princess survival mode, monster-infested road trips, and a slow burn so slow it qualifies as emotional edging. Expect spoilers chaos, feral commentary, and us repeatedly asking whether we understand the plot (answer: no, but we tried so hard).

Quick correction because we are unreliable narrators: despite what we said last episode, this is actually the last episode before The Plotties 2025. Yes, we lied. No, we don’t regret it.
