Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
The pacing is slow. Like, glacial. It does pick up around the last 100 pages, but until then it's mostly setup.
The characterization could use some improvement here and there but it's mostly pretty good. I will say that the last 100 pages were so intrigueing and left me with so much curiosity that I'm definitely going to try out book 2, despite the super slow pacing. Maybe it'll be worth it!
