A Spark of White Fire by Sangu Mandanna
5.0
Mythology done right
I've been keeping an eye on the book since it premiered in September. Flash sale had me buying, keeping tucked away when I needed a space opera. Mandanna builds a solid cast of characters, with flaws and beauty. A lot of treachery. Goddesses and Gods flow in an out of lives, a wake havoc and honeyed words. Esmae is an exiled princess, a young woman looking to make her mark in a world that tried to remove that planted mark. Intrigue and plans. Forgotten plots and long buried secrets bloom behind that wake. Great option for readers who want a strong mythology with well-crafted plots and characters.
