You won&#8217;t speak and you won&#8217;t tell, you won&#8217;t call on heaven or hell. You will learn and you will thrive. Silence, Daughter. Stay alive.<\/p>\n<p>Once upon a time in The Bird And The Sword, the Gifted used to roam freely throughout Jeru&#8217;s nation. They were divinely endowed with abilities as healers, tellers, spinners, or changers. Yet some of them turned evil. The gifted were therefore sought after.<\/p>\n<p>They either kept their skills a secret or received harsh punishment. Lark&#8217;s mother was murdered. Lark&#8217;s voice also left her body when her mother was killed for a crime she didn&#8217;t even commit. Although she had to be protected by her father out of necessity, she was largely neglected and left alone.<\/p>\n<p>Up until Prince Tiras used her as a pawn in his desperate battle against the nightmare creatures that endangered his people and his land. Lark was therefore silenced. She becomes a young woman and she hasn&#8217;t spoken a word.<\/p>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/www.dreame.com\/resources\/media\/2023\/03\/the-bird-and-the-sword-weapon.jpg\" alt=\"The Bird And The Sword Weapon\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>I am not a weapon. I don&#8217;t want to be a weapon!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>You are what you are. I am what I am. It matters little what we want<\/p>\n<p>But when they were assaulted by an unknown darkness known as Legion, Lark used her thoughts and power to help Tiras. Since then, Prince Tiras slowly teaches Lark to read as he battles the darkness through time. Prince Tiras of The Bird And The Sword discovers that he can converse and gains control of Lark&#8217;s abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Lark and Tiras seek out others who have particular talents and learn from them as they look for a solution to overcome the encroaching darkness, and as they do that their love for one another increases, but some people want to keep them apart because they know about her secret. While Lark&#8217;s power multiplied.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the outcome of the violent conflict would be decided by Lark, the quiet girl with the power of words, for Lark, she is The BirdThe Sword.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"part2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Part 2: Main Protagonists of The Bird And Sword<\/h2>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/www.dreame.com\/resources\/media\/2023\/03\/the-bird-and-the-sword-characters-lark-tiras.jpg\" alt=\"The Bird And The Sword Characters\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3>Lark<\/h3>\n<p>&#8221; You don&#8217;t need wings to fly&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She is The Bird And Sword. I like how Lark&#8217;s character was embodied as The Bird And The Sword. She is the center of the story. The plot revolves around her. The author was perfect in crafting Lark&#8217;s character as well as building the plot and setting around her.<\/p>\n<p>There is a story because there is Lark. I rarely read a book made this way. And this is awesome. Lark, The Bird, And The Sword is a very likable character. I must admit she&#8217;s one of the most unique characters I read. Imagine a mute whose power rests in words.<\/p>\n<p>That is she. And to add she&#8217;s a woman of wisdom. There are substances in dialogues she says. The making of Lark as The Bird And The Sword was creative and imaginative.<\/p>\n<h3>Prince Tiras<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Without desire, there is only duty. But sometimes our greatest desire is to do our duty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tiras is a new King. His character in The Bird And The Sword is snarky and arrogant. His purpose for Lark at first was to take her as hostage and pawn. But later on, as they go on adventures together he has a character development when he falls for Lark.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"part3\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Part 3: Plot Review of The Bird And The Sword<\/h2>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/www.dreame.com\/resources\/media\/2023\/03\/the-bird-and-the-sword-book-cover.jpg\" alt=\"The Bird And The Sword Book Cover\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>I was wondering how the author would show the arch as Lark as being mute. It was such a hard part for the author to show such effective scenes, and I must agree the writing style of The Bird And The Sword was excellent for showing the mute Lark was effective.<\/p>\n<p>In The Bird And The Sword, emotion was a major driving force in the narrative. The author has a way with words.<\/p>\n<p>I love the prose and the poetic sounds of every dialogue. It complements the magic theme of the plot. It&#8217;s fascinating to read the narrative from Lark&#8217;s point of view since we can infer her emotions from her inner dialogue and the way she gestures to other people since she is unable to talk.<\/p>\n<p>Things become even more dramatic when she catches the king&#8217;s attention and they begin to get to know each other. But if there&#8217;s something that I&#8217;m in awe of more about The Bird And The Sword, is its concept.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine a mute girl whose power rests in her words is herself The Bird And The Sword, the sole weapon which the King needed to maintain the kingdom, and the King who plans to use her as a pawn unintentionally falls in love with her. Such a beautiful plot concept.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"part4\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Part 4: Recommending a Similar Book To The Bird And The Sword<\/h2>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/www.dreame.com\/resources\/media\/2023\/03\/the-bird-and-the-sword-similar-book.jpg\" alt=\"The Bird And The Sword Similar Book\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>&#8221; Seek the crown and gain power.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you love the world-building of The Bird And The Sword you will surely love The Crown Of Humatora.<\/p>\n<p>It is a fantasy romance story that will introduce you to a world of werewolves and other fantasy creatures. Readers of The Bird And The Sword also read The Crown Of Humatora.<\/p>\n<p>The Crown Of Humatora tells the story of Sabine, a young 111-year-old werewolf with heterochromia eyes and being raised by her mother, who never knew her father.<\/p>\n<p>She only vaguely remembered him as having a tattoo of little roses on his hand and a soft hand.<\/p>\n<p>She was raised in a small tribe where her stepfather is one of the ambitious warlords searching for a mystical crown that will grant the finder the right to rule the Humatora Kingdom. Her mother is merely one of her stepfather&#8217;s five wives, and he is a vicious and violent guy.<\/p>\n<p>Her stepfather regularly beat her, and one day she had enough. While she was running away from her stepfather, Sabine encounter three Elven men (a Dark Nephilim, a WereDragon, and a Necromancer) who will aid her in locating her real father, her identity, as well as each other as lovers.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td_btn td_btn_md td_shadow_btn\" style=\"color: #ffffff; background-color: #ff00ff;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff; background-color: #ff00ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dreame.com\/story\/1832919808-the-crown-of-humatora\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out The Crown Of Humatora <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her power is in her words.
