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.

Rating: 4.5 stars
I have to admit that I’m not really a big fan of science fiction and fantasy books. There are only a few books that I love from those genre and I’m glad to say that A Spark of White Fire is one of those books!
It took half of the book for me to get into it. It’s not the book’s fault, really. Like I said earlier I’m not into fantasy and science fiction that much. I just trusted Shealea enough when I saw her tweet recommendation of this book that I know I have to keep going in the story. After the 50% or so, it hooked me into the story and never let me go!
It is a story of gods, family drama, manipulation and secrets. Those themes may be present in like almost fantasy/science fiction books but this book is something that I’ve never read before. It left me breathless and just wanting the next book!
Have you read A Spark of White Fire? What did you think of it? What other fantasy and science fiction books do you recommend for me?
