After absolutely loving Shield of Sparrows<\/em>, I couldn\u2019t wait to dive into Rites of the Starling<\/em>\u2014and it did not disappoint. I loved this one almost as much as the first book. Now I desperately need book three\u2026 preferably yesterday!<\/p>\n

One of my favorite things about this installment is that it finally answers many of the questions that Shield of Sparrows<\/em> left us with. While Odessa and Ransom aren\u2019t the central focus this time around, I think this book is essential because it gives readers the why<\/em> behind so many of the events from book one. The additional context, history, and world-building made everything click into place and has me even more excited to see where the series goes next.<\/p>\n

The pacing is a bit slower than the first book, but that slower pace allows the story to deepen the world and reveal important information without feeling rushed. Every revelation felt worthwhile, and I appreciated getting a broader understanding of Calandra and its history.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want to spoil anything because discovering these answers is part of the fun, so I\u2019ll keep this brief. If you loved Shield of Sparrows<\/em>, you\u2019re going to want to pick up Rites of the Starling<\/em>. And once you finish it, you\u2019ll be counting down the days until book three right alongside me!<\/p>\n
