“Don’t choose a mediocre life for a mediocre man. Go be exceptional. If he’s worth it, he won’t judge you. And if he’s really the one, he’ll come along for the ride.”
“What if our story isn’t over, Diem Bellator? What if it’s only beginning?”
------------------------------------------------
Spark of the Everflame is probably the fastest I have ever read a fantasy book. I really felt Hunger Games/Fourth Wing vibes. While there was world building, it was fairly easy to understand and only added when needed. The characters and plot took center stage in this story, and I had fun guessing what would happen next. I will say that the plot was fairly predictable. However, the ending did get me! I did not see that coming. Even though there was a predictable nature to the book, I absolutely could not put it down and just had to keep reading.
The characters of this story had me in my feels. The fmc, Diem is strong and courageous. However, at times, I found her to be rather niave and impulsive even when she knew she shouldn't be. I am looking forward to see her character grow throughout the series and really come into her own. Henri, Henri, Henri. I thought I liked you, but no. At this time, I do not. Luther, now I am here for him! I want more scenes with him, and I sincerely hope he's included more in the next book.
Overall, I am very excited about this series and look forward to continuing it with book 2.

FMC is a bit annoying on the beginning but at the 60% it gets better and her decision makes more sense and it fits her personality more. I think the trick in understanding her decisions is to see her as a sheltered child trying to make her own way in the world and just getting slapped by life.
MMC ist amazing, love Luther no more to say.
The book itself could be at least a 100 pages shorter. Especially begging was very very slow could have been a bit shortened at around 50% things starts to move forward.
If you pick up this book and its struggling in continuing or you are feeling put down by some reviews just pass the 60% mark it gets better I promise.

The Romance part felt a bit of a cliche with a contrast between male love interests, I thought they were both crafted well, and I liked the story had good moral/ethical dilemmas to (literally) war with.
Overall I really enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.

Being the first in a series, this book is light on the actual romance. But the setup is certainly promising!
I look forward to reading more in this series!
