A review by chickenturtlesallthewaydown
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell

medium-paced

4.0

I enjoyed this thoroughly at first; was slightly uncomfortable with some of the characters and content but found the ending thought provoking and genuinely enjoyable. Sought out the sequel right away and nearly did not finish it and honestly wished I hadn’t read the follow up as it changed the way I felt about the Sparrow (basically ruined the good feelings I had for the first book and would now hesitate to recommend the Sparrow to anyone).
