It is an arrowing thing to see the love of your life suffer and you are impotent of changing that, it is even more disastrous when he is forcibly taken away. Caelin, queen of two fractured countries and Alain a prince without a throne, bounded by love and separated by magic, betrayal, deceit, and dishonesty. Caelin fights to preserve and hold on to what they have, while Alain’s mind has a torturous grip on him, he is in so much pain, physical and emotional, unsure of what or who he really is. An interesting, entertaining and adventure fill book, with memorable and interesting characters, all embodied in a wonderful storyline.
This was a DNF for me so this is not a proper review just my thoughts on why I couldn't finish it. I do have to give a rating or it won't publish so disregard the star rating as i said earlier not a proper review.
When I saw this I was caught by the cover and read the synopsis and was quite intrigued. But when I started reading i found that the book wasn't for me I didn't really like the characters at all. And the writing felt very disjointed, I was also very confused. Which after doing some research found that the book was actually a sequel but when reading the synopsis or even looking at the title shows no indication that its a second book. This also explains why I felt like I missed so much stuff. With that being said I'm might read the first one and come back to Spark and having some idea what is happening might enjoy it more.
For those of you wondering book one is called Ember.
Unfortunately not for me, I found the writing wasn’t very good at times and because of that I struggled to get into it, the characters were two dimensional, not likeable and I couldn’t find myself interested at all.
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion
The writing for this book was choppy and awkward. The book is meant for Throne of Glass fans but the characterization of the main character Caelin felt way too similar to Aelin from Throne of Glass. There were too many things that weren't fleshed out for me to enjoy this book.
