The book picks up shortly after the end of the previous book in the series and the action starts up almost immediately as Nova is faced with a multitude of tasks with her new position as ruler of the underworld.

I immediately loved the characters; they were so real and intriguing that I found myself connecting to them almost as soon as they came on the page. Nova is such a strong, yet slightly broken individual, having been through so much hardship so young that has taken a mental toll despite her resilience in continuing forward.
First I must start with the most important acknowledgment of all: MOTH. Gosh I missed this dramatic little creature so much. He is my whole world and I love and breathe every moment he appears in this series. IT’S TOTALLY NORMAL HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM.
Now I have been very much looking forward to this book since it was announced, but holy moly did it ever knock my expectations out of the park. Prior to starting this book, I have been in a brutal reading slump, particularly directed towards fantasy which is usually my main genre. So talk about making my reading life difficult. Not to mention frustrating. Flame and Sparrow is the fantasy book to finally knock me out of my struggle to read fantasy. It absolutely blew me away. Like I am going to be living in this world in my head for the foreseeable future now because I’m just staggered by what I read.
