In this episode of Fae and Fables, licensed counselors Katie and Emily delve into Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry. We talk all things forgotten princesses, fantastic beasts, and... Salad Fingers? Come with us as we explore the psychological constructs behind Odessa and the Guardian's journey through the perilous world of Calandra, and discuss what we can learn from this book about our every day lives. We discuss how folks can work toward building trust in relationships, successful transitions in life roles, and centering women's pleasure as a way to approach intimacy in romantic dynamics. If you love all things psychological, literary, and romantasy, then you should absolutely join us!
