A Spark of White Fire by Sangu Mandanna
3.0
Sadly, my experience of this book is affected by the audiobook narrator who has a tendency to overdo voices and drama. But this wasn't a book for me. I never cared enough about the characters to get truly engaged in the plot. I zoned out too often to get the hang of all the characters and their intricate relationships, and there was just too much talk about strategy and who has done what to whom in the past for my taste.
What I DID really enjoy, was the lore and the magic system. The gods who take human form and find a hundred different ways to influence people around them without getting directly involved (because they can't do that without serious consequences).
I think I probably would've appreciated this book more had I read it some years ago, and I do think that many young readers will enjoy and love these characters.
