🔥 Spark of the Everflame by @authorpenncole
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🖤 “‘You think I fear my own death?’ He whispered in my ear. ‘Every day I draw breath is as much a curse as a gift. I’ve been living on borrowed time for longer than you can imagine. If you’re the way my fate finally catches up to me, I can’t fathom a more beautiful end.’”
🤯 When my friend told me I would want to binge this entire series once I started, I knew I was in for a treat. The fact that I read 80% of this book in a DAY should tell you all you need to know. I literally had to sit in my car of the parking lot for a bit to process everything I just read. I am blown away.
❤️🔥 Cole has built a unique world with an interesting magic system. Emarion is full of humans and the Descended. Hailing from the royal blood of gods, the Descended believe themselves superior over the humans. They oppress them and are forbidden from even reproducing with them.
🔥 Diem is a healer following in her mother’s footsteps. But when her mother suddenly disappears without a trace, Diem is set out to discover the secrets her mother was hiding. Diem is strong, compassionate, sassy, intelligent, and incredibly witty (or petty 😜). I loved her character and her POV. Cole did a fantastic job letting the reader into the mind of the FMC.
🖤 A love triangle..? Henri is Diem’s childhood love. A human with a strong hatred for the Descended, Henri begins opening Diem’s eyes to what’s really been happening in their world. But will Diem take the bait and join him on his quest to expel the Descended?
❤️🔥 The other part of the triangle? Prince Luther, the broody heir to the dying King’s throne. While he looks at her with disdain, Luther is obviously curious about Diem. Even when she breaks rules, refuses to use his title, and snaps back at him, Luther seems to always allow her to get away with it. Why?
🤯 Spark of the Everflame is full of feminine rage, banter, political intrigue, & mystery that will have you picking up book 2 as soon as you finish. (Because that’s exactly what I did. 😂) Beautifully written with so much soul put in the main character and her POV, Cole has crafted an incredible (bingeable) masterpiece.

Intrigue, Betrayal, and Cliffhangers in 'Spark of the Everflame'
"Spark of the Everflame" by Penn Cole had been on my TBR for ages, and thanks to a nudge from a friend, I finally jumped in. This book is a fantastic introduction to The Kindred's Curse Saga, plunging you into a world where mortals and gods collide. The Descended, the ruthless offspring of the gods, hold the power, keeping mortals in their place. If you're into slow-burn fantasy with a cliffhanger, this book is for you.Diem Bellator is a young woman who dreams of escaping her small village. When her mom vanishes without a trace, she's suddenly thrown into a world of Descended royalty, sinister secrets, and a political landscape full of danger. As she navigates this new territory, Diem finds herself surrounded by allies that are less than trustworthy and complex relationships that are anything but straightforward.Every interaction between Diem and the king's enigmatic heir is charged with energy and tension. There is an undeniable pull with him and she doesn’t know why. At the same time, she’s struggling to understand if her childhood best friend, who seems like the obvious choice is the person she should spend the rest of her life with. This story is all about the slow burn, the suspense, and the carefully orchestrated moments that will keep you eagerly flipping the pages.The world-building is refreshing, not overly complex, and was perfect for me who needed a book with a lighter mental load. The magic system is unique, and the characters are layered, each hiding their own secrets. There's plenty of action, mystery, and intrigue, and just when you think you have it all figured out, the book hits you with an epic cliffhanger. You'll want the 2nd book ready right away.
