A Spark of White Fire

by Sangu Mandanna

In a universe of capricious gods, dark moons, and kingdoms built on the backs of spaceships, a cursed queen sends her infant daughter away, a jealous uncle steals the throne of Kali from his nephew, and an exiled prince vows to take his crown back. 

Raised alone and far away from her home on Kali, Esmae longs to return to her family. When the King of Wychstar offers to gift the unbeatable, sentient warship Titania to a warrior that can win his competition, she sees her way home: she’ll enter the competition, reveal her true identity to the world, and help her famous brother win back the crown of Kali. 

It’s a great plan. Until it falls apart. 

Inspired by the Mahabharata and other ancient Indian stories, A Spark of White Fire is a lush, sweeping space opera about family, curses, and the endless battle between jealousy and love.

My thoughts:  So, as fellow readers, I know you understand when I say there are some books that just stay with you forever. Even now, 6 years later, I still consider The Lost  Girl by Sangu Mandanna one of my favorites (my testament to that here in my review). SO needless to say, the waiting and wishing for another book from this author has been constant and torturous and now it will finally be coming true!! AND its a space opera!! This sounds so incredible, and I simply can't wait. 

What book are you eagerly anticipating this week?

Firestarter

by Tara Sim

hitting shelves January 9th, 2019  

from Skypony Press

The crew of the Prometheus is intent on taking down the world’s clock towers so that time can run freely. Now captives, Colton, Daphne, and the others have a stark choice: join the Prometheus’s cause, or fight back in any small way they can and face the consequences. But Zavier, leader of the terrorists, has a bigger plan—to bring back the lost god of time.

As new threats emerge, loyalties must shift. No matter where the Prometheus goes—Prague, Austria, India—nowhere is safe, and every second ticks closer toward the eleventh hour. Walking the line between villainy and heroism, each will have to choose what's most important: saving those you love at the expense of the many, or making impossible sacrifices for the sake of a better world.

My thoughts:  After every amazing thing that went down in Chainbreaker, the wait for this finale will be torturous!!
