Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry
4.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This has a bit of everything...
Underestimated, outcast FMC ✔️
Dark, mysterious MMC ✔️
Arranged marriage that may not be what it first seems ✔️
Gods, monsters, magic ✔️
Slow burn romance ✔️
Likeable secondary characters ✔️

It is a YA fantasy so the FMC is young and a little immature in the earlier parts of the book. But that's okay and understandable given it it a YA fantasy.  The writing style is not my favorite in parts but it wasn't enough to really impact the enjoyment of the story.
