About this listen
Now in development as a feature film with Amazon MGM Studios, with John Wick screenwriter Derek Kolstad attached to write the script!
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?
Contains mature themes.

Speechless. Wanting book two. The plot is plotting and the slow burn is perfection. Check the trigger warnings before you dive in it gets rough at times.
Tropes:
Romantasy
Court politics
Some gore
Magic & myths
Enemies to lovers
Forced marriage & proximity

Its worth the character & world building.
I often wonder if the hype is to be trusted, it was in this case. The book builds a great base in the first half and then it gets on with the business of capturing your attention.
A few twists to keep you guessing and some it let's you figure out for yourself.
The love story has some depth (and a little spice) and then the last line of the book has you wishing someone would say that about you.
was certainly worth my time.

Good Slow Burn Romantasy Novel
Great easy listen. Loved the female narrator, she did an excellent job. Unfortunately, the MMC sections in the book were dull and boring, and the volume was too low during his performance. Needed better editing.

Best Fantasy Book in a while!
Loved the storyline of this book. The plot twists kept you guessing the whole way through. Ended on the most epic cliff hanger! Will be suffering quite the book hangover after this one!

Amazing
Samantha Brentmoor is the best, should could narrate a dictionary and it would be entertaining. This is probably Devney Perry’s best book, and yes you could see some of the twists coming but everything was well done.
