Song of the Sparrow

The lyrical structure adds a musical quality to the story, but I wonder if it also limited the depth of character development. Was that a conscious choice?

The verses made the feelings so visceral, but I’m curious if others felt it amplified the stakes or sometimes felt too abstract.

It’s a unique approach that gives the story a timeless, almost song-like quality. I wonder if the author considered other formats before settling on poetry.
