Over het boek
Shield of Sparrows is a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Rebecca Yarros―where 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. I’ve spent my life kneeling―to 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 father’s throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life. Now I’m crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him―bound to a future I didn’t choose and a husband I barely know. Everyone wants me to be something I’m not―a queen, a spy, a sacrifice. But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there’s power in being underestimated? And what if―for the first time―I reached for it?

Stemmen van lezers
De populairste recensies op Hardcover (met naamsvermelding van de auteurs).
“SIX STARS. If you're reading this review, stop and go read this book instead.”
“the first ~60% of the plot is so slow and nothing happens, just so that there's a ~slow burn~. also, the world building in first person POV in this book is horrendous. the character asks herself a million questions, and the few times she asks another character questions, they ignore her. this was going to be a 1 star book for me, except the last ~1/4 of the book is actually really good. I'm so mad because this could've been such a great book, had most of the focus not been on trying to draw out a slow burn romance for *checks notes* no reason.”
