My Review

There is something very special about this intriguing novel. It’s the third installment in the Two Sparrows for a Penny series and though I haven’t had the chance to read the other two books I found myself completely immersed in this world, having to fight myself to put the book down, even for the moment. I read this entire novel in one sitting, spending a stormy afternoon keeping my literary appetite satiated.

Sara Davison is one of my favorite authors and this novel highlights why I love her so much. There is quite a bit of jumping back and forth from past and present, especially at the beginning, as we witness everything that transpired in real time. Normally the back and forth would get old or confusing but the writing was so seamless that it flowed as if it were all on one linear timeline, showing off Sara’s masterful writing skills.

The further you get into the story the more you unlock the secrets of Jae’s past, and they are heartbreaking. I cannot imagine a young girl having to endure so much and through no fault of her own. The mood of a sad mystery looms heavy over this work as Jae lives out the past while paralleling Tag’s unrelenting quest to find Jae and, with her, find the truth. The utter bravery of Jae is nothing short of heroic. To have such tenacity and faith in the face of evil is awe-inspiring and was truly inspiring to read.

There are some intense moments that literally had my heart pounding, so don’t let the clean suspense tag fool you. There are parts that were truly shocking commingled with moments of tenderness, and everything in between. You truly feel all the feels when you read this novel. It captured my imagination, my heart, and was exactly what I needed. I plan on going back and reading the other two novels in this series. If they are even a smidge as good as Every Bird That Falls, then I’m in for a treat.

My Rating: ★★★★★
