For too long, I’ve feared the monsters we make.
It’s time to discover the monster within.

Readers say *Shield of Sparrows* by Devney Perry captivates with immersive world-building, a memorable female lead, and an engaging slow-burn romance ...
I can absolutely see the hype for this book. It wasn’t my favorite and it isn’t perfect but I was definitely invested. My biggest gripe is it felt long. And I don’t mean long page wise, because it’s a fantasy and I love a good 600+ pager, but it felt long with the way it was written. What I loved was that Odessa felt more realistic than what we typically see from a fantasy FMC. She’s not the perfect fighter or super stealthy or smart, she was the average/forgettable princess and that made me like her a lot. What bothered me was the amount of questions she asked not just in dialogue but in her narrative as well. It became a bit much and although was a part of who she was it made the story drag at a lot of different points. There was also a lot of buildup so although I felt like I was moving through quickly, not much happened. I saw some things coming but I was invested and entertained so I let myself enjoy them and by the end I had tears, so of course need to read book two!
