A Spark of White Fire

A Spark of White Fire, a Mahabharata-inspired young adult space opera novel, is one of the most engaging, exciting, fun novels I've read this year. The story unfolds from the perspective of Esmae Rey, a princess who lived in obscurity for seventeen years before stepping out of the shadows into the light to reveal the truth of who she is???despite being warned against this path by a goddess. Esmae's narrative voice hooked me immediately and the pacing is amazingly well done.

I had some minor quibbles with it that kept it from being a 5 star read???primarily that I would have liked a bit more depth and subtlety???but I thoroughly enjoyed it and have pre-ordered the sequel.
