Broken Sparrow

I've always been a sucker for a bad boy with a heart of gold, and Morris is the poster boy for the trope. Jason Clarke's narration of Morris is nothing short of spectacular, capturing the character's gruff exterior and tender core with equal parts gravel and vulnerability. Samantha Brentmoor, meanwhile, imbues Morris's love interest, Emma, with a fierce determination and vulnerability that makes her a heroine you can't help but root for. The pacing is breakneck, with the tension ratcheting up like a drumbeat towards a climax that's as explosive as it is satisfying. My only critique? I could've used a little more nuance in the secondary characters, but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise exhilarating ride.
