Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry

3.0

adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

While I found the premise and concept really interesting the delivery did not work for me. I love arranged marriages and this one had just that added tension due to the circumstances so I really thought I would love it. However, the predictably of this book ruined it for me. When I can see things coming from a mile away and then it takes FOREVER for it to happen, it loses its mystery and just lead to a frustrated reader in me. There are some good points of this book. The ending was better and I am slightly interested in the rest of the story but it’s got to move faster.
