June story of the month: Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry
So we're a bit late kicking off our June read, but honestly, this one feels worth the wait.
This month’s pick is Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry. This is touted as a slow-burn, high-stakes romantasy, and it'’s been getting a lot of love on TikTok. It promises cursed kingdoms, broody monster hunters, an arranged marriage no one asked for, and a princess who’s finally ready to stop playing nice. If you're into high-stakes journeys with slow-burn tension, this one should hit the spot.
Why we chose it
After putting it to a vote, Shield of Sparrows came out ahead, and I have to say, I’m pretty excited! It’s always fun seeing what resonates with the group, and this month you all clearly wanted something with a bit of grit and fantasy drama. I’ve been in the mood for a good new fantasy romance, and this one has been recommended by a few friends and early readers who absolutely loved it. It’s also the first book in a new series, so fair warning that we’ll be waiting a bit for book two. But from what I’ve heard, it’ll be worth it.
