Shield of Sparrows
Shield of Sparrows | Devney Perry
Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarroswhere enemies become lovers, monsters stalk a cursed realm, and a forgotten princess finds the strength to tear off her crown and become the warrior she was never meant to be. The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel. Ive spent my life kneelingto their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king. I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood. But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my fathers throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life. Now Im crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise himbound to a future I didnt choose and a husband I barely know. Everyone wants me to be something Im nota queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if theres power in being underestimated? And what iffor the first timeI reached for it?

The world building was excellent and I enjoyed Odessa‘s story so much I can ignore the times the male lead made confusing decisions seemingly only so the plot would go in a certain direction. The romance was a slowwwww burn. I‘d read the next one.

Randomly picked this up on KU. I actually really liked this Romantasy. The romance part took WAY TOO Long! Like 80% into the book. The world building was interesting and the different monsters were fun. I will definitely pick up the next book.

Chrissyreadit i agree the I wish the romance had begun sooner. 2d

Huge fan of this world and the characters. A princess I could actually relate to. Odessa isn't super clever or a skilled fighter. She's a normal girl (plus a crown) who likes to read. Yes, the guardian is attractive and rude, but his back story was unique, so still points for breaking the romantasy mold. I will absolutely be reading the next book. I might even go wild and pre-order it.

5⭐️ yes I think this book is amazing and equally as amazing as everyone says it is. I love the hero arch that‘s been started for Odessa and THAT CLIFFHANGER! The Guardian and all his mystique really helped carry the love triangle. I‘ve read a LOT of fantasy/romantasy this year and this is by far my favorite, with many more reveals ahead I hope book2 lives up to its potential.

Got this beautiful looker. Okay, maybe I judged a book by its cover, but it was a gamble worth taking. Intrigued to see where this one is taking me, and if it takes me somewhere I like, there‘s plenty of other books and series from this author waiting out there..

Blh87 It sure is nice to look at😍 3w

A truly excellent fantasy romance (very slow burn). This has genuine world building, characters that you care deeply about and I cannot wait to continue this series. Highly recommend to those that like a good love story in their fantasy but an actual story and not just steamy scenes. 5⭐️

I LOVE THIS BOOK. Audio. Like, what was THAT??? Especially that ending twist. This is definitely a Witcher-esque story, with its monsters. That also built into the slow-burn and the whole saying “I hate you” because it‘s easier. I emotionally felt attached to both Odessa and the Guardian. This was brought out well throughout the story, to when she said enough to that.
