Flame and Sparrow

Flame and Sparrow Duology, Book 1

By: S.M. Gaither

Narrated by: Jesse Vilinsky

On the eve of her twentieth birthday, Karys woke to the sight of a divine creature dying outside her home.

Two weeks later, her sister disappeared, leaving nothing but a trail of blood in her wake.

Convinced the gods were responsible, Karys has spent the past five years plotting her revenge with the help of a cutthroat band of likeminded elven rebels. So when Dravyn—one of her world's most powerful deities—descends in search of humans worthy of serving him, Karys knows what she must do. Earning a place at the god's side will allow her to find out what truly happened to her sister . . . and then destroy the gods.

Thrown into the dazzling but deadly world of the divine courts, she must navigate complicated politics, strange magic, and dangerous trials to prove herself worthy of standing among the gods.

Karys knows better than to trust the enigmatic God of Fire. And yet, the more she learns about him, the hotter the forbidden sparks burn. The more she begins to question all she thought she knew about the world of gods and mortals and everything in-between.

And the more she risks betraying her own secrets, which may be the most dangerous thing of all.

Contains mature themes.

Not pure sex book

I enjoyed that the story was moved along without there being a sex scene in every chapter. Made it more of a love story with exciting battles.

Great story/ awful narration

The narration was cringy and hard to listen to especially during the sex scenes. The story was very unique and a refreshing plot in the romantasy world

Hello, Wildfire

This is a blazingly delightful book filled with all the angst and tension. I love the overall storyline

Great narration!!!!!

did not hold my attention

I listen to A Lot of audiobooks. This took me days to get through and could not hold my attention. just not gripping and too slow

DNF

Not sure if it was the story or the audio narrator but it did not hold my attention. Couldn’t get past chapter 6.
