Flame & Sparrow is an enjoyable read. With an intriguing & unique plot, MMC falls for FMC first. The banter between side characters will have you laughing out loud.The romance, yearning, and heartbreak follow along nicely in the journey of acceptance and healing.It's a slow burn. Around page 300, is when feelings heat up.🌶 🌶.5This is a long read, but enjoyable all the way to end. Definitely, recommend giving this book a read. I bought this book used for $17. No regrets except making not buying it in hardback.Again, a unique plot, well placed banter, and a good amount of spice. Worth the read.
I very much enjoyed this journey with Karys and the God of fire. Looking forward to reading the next chapter in their story.
Overall I thought the pacing of the building up to the last quarter of the book was on the slow side; however it was still an enjoyable read just different than what I was used to. You meet a few characters in the beginning alongside her but don’t get too much information and then she’s in a different location and again you’re meeting side characters but still not learning enough about what is going on. THEN the build up culminates finally for roughly the last 40% and everything is happening
I enjoyed S.M. Gaither’s Shadow and Crown series and decided to try this one. The fact it was a duology sold me as I wanted a shorter series. It took me a while to become interested in the story, and I almost dnf a couple of times. It did finally pick up and became more enjoyable. I will read the next book in the series. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this is not a clean book as the author mentions it, but the scenes can be skipped without hindering the story.
This was such a good book! My first by S.M. Gaither and definitely not my last. The slow burn romance, the plotting, the questioning of everything you once knew to be true, the humor, and the heartache are all at 5-Star levels! It's a slow start but well worth the read and without that slowness I feel the story would be lost. I haven't seen any hype for this book and that's so sad to me because it truly is so good
