Spark of the Everflame: A Novel (The Kindred’s Curse Saga)

NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY BESTSELLER

This BookTok sensation is the first in a slow burn, epic romantasy series following one woman who must risk everything to save her family—and all of mortalkind. Now in a collectible hardcover edition featuring gorgeous full-color endpapers, an exclusive designed hardcover case, and a never-before-seen bonus chapter.

When old secrets catch fire, everything will burn.

In a mortal world colonized by the gods and ruled over by their cruel, magical offspring called the Descended, Diem Bellator yearns to escape her poor village.

Her mother’s sudden disappearance—and the discovery of a dangerous secret about her past—offer Diem an unexpected opportunity to enter the dark world of Descended royalty and unlock a web of mysteries left behind by her mother.

With the dying King’s handsome yet enigmatic heir watching her every move and a ruthless rebel alliance recruiting her to join the growing civil war, Diem must navigate the unwritten rules of love, power, and politics in order to save her family—and all of mortalkind.

It’s official, new series obsession unlocked. If you’re a fan of romantasy like I am, this book is for you. It has a ton of classic fantasy elements, a feisty FMC and a hint of romance and tension. I could not get enough! Diem was a little annoying but knowing this is a series and how much could happen in the upcoming books makes me giddy. I love the way the world building isn’t too overwhelming and I’m sure we’ll learn more throughout the upcoming books. I enjoyed the magic system and of course already have my eyes on Luther as a new book boyfriend. Overall, I was thoroughly entertained and cannot wait to get into book 2!

4 stars because I know the next one is going to be even better. Book 1 is a lot of information and world building and I LOVE Penn Cole’s vocabulary. The description of everything and the feelings you get while reading. Amazing - I’m looking forward to the rest of the series.

I didn't love this book, but the ending feels like a setup for a series I will enjoy the rest of. It didn't really grip me. I was never desperate or excited to keep reading. We end with a lot of questions and pretty much no answers, which I actually don't like any book ending that way - even if it is a series. I feel like I deserve at least a couple of answers. But even tho I struggled through 75% of this book, I think I will still read whatever is next.
