The Mourning Dove and His Snow Sparrow by Eve Healy
2.0
⭐️⭐️ 2.5 stars! Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the book! I am voluntarily leaving a review.
The cover of this book caught my attention before I even read the description—it's gorgeous and perfectly captures the heartwarming dynamic between the two main characters, Callum and Aurear.
This is a great book if you're in a reading slump and in need of a quick, fun, and easy read to get back into the groove of things. With Callum grieving the death of his mother at the beginning of the story and then finding a new purpose in life after discovering the injured snow sparrow that later becomes Aurear, the story takes emotional twists and turns that gradually become heavier near the end of the story.
The emotional parts were a little more intense than I expected (as well as the spicy scenes), and I found myself feeling a bit confused with the story progressing at a fast rate. I'd say this is personal preference though—as someone who adores slow burn and the nitty-gritty details, I felt frustrated with some of the inconsistencies and loopholes in plot. Despite this, it left me feeling curious and invested—if the book elaborated on various details (such as the backstories of the characters), I'd definitely read it all over again! The little bonus scene at the end of the book was really cute too! Overall, a nice and cozy MLM fantasy novella.
