Hey book bestie Reader
I just finished Rites of the Starling, and I have thoughts.
After loving Shield of the Sparrows, this was one I went into very excited for—and I just posted my honest book review on the blog to help you decide if it’s worth picking up next.
⚡ A Quick Vibe Check This sequel leans deeper into the world, the stakes, and the emotional layers of the story. It’s one of those reads where things slowly start clicking into place—and when they do, it makes you look at everything a little differently.
💭 What I Talk About in My Review 💭 What I Talk About in My Review This is more of a real-time reader reaction than a breakdown. I’m sharing my overall thoughts as I read, what stood out to me, and where I think the story is heading next.
You’ll also get into some of my predictions for book three… because there are definitely a few things I need answers to.
And if it’s been a minute since you read Shield of the Sparrows, I’ve got you—I also have a full recap on the blog so you can refresh before jumping into book two.
No fluff, no overanalyzing—just my honest thoughts, a few theories, and everything I was thinking while reading.
And if you’re already thinking, okay I’m intrigued enough, you can go ahead and grab your copy here:
I split it into a spoiler-free section and a full spoiler review. So whether you’re deciding to read it or ready to talk about everything, you’re covered.
If you’ve been debating picking this one up after book one, this should give you the clarity you need.
Happy reading (and sipping),
