The Mourning Dove and His Snow Sparrow by Eve Healy, Eve Healy
2.0
⁂ Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC.
Well.. this was different. I mostly wanted to try this because of the gorgeous cover.
It didn’t go as expected.
☙ ⏤⏤⏤⏤ ❧
❥Short Synopsis:
Callum is a lonely guy who lives in the woods by himself.
After years of taking care of his sick mother, she dies and leaves Callum behind.
With no one else around, his life becomes empty and meaningless.
One day, Callum finds a hurt Fox Sparrow and takes it home to take care of it, only for the bird to turn into a man. A man with wings that is, who’s really still a bird..
☙ ⏤⏤⏤⏤ ❧
⁂ My opinion:
This story didn’t really work out for me. At first I expected this to maybe be a shifter romance? But it isn’t. The man is actually a bird. Because of that, he doesn’t understand how to ‘be human’, leaving Callum to have to explain the simplest of things, which makes his character feel quite child-like in my opinion. Next to that, we’re reminded multiple times that ‘he really is a bird’. That combined with some very very explicit spicy scenes.. I don’t know. It was a bit uncomfortable to me.
