A Spark of White Fire by Sangu Mandanna
2.0
Plot holes you can drive big trucks through.
Supposedly brilliant people making dumb ass decisions.
Why do they live on spaceships but fight with swords and bow and arrows? Wouldn't, IDK, lasers or light sabers, or something scifi appropriate be what high tech space dwellers would use?
Kill off the only character that is moderately interesting.
The absurd and absolutely unnecessary romance with her COUSIN. IDC that he's adopted, it's weird. Are we in some futuristic space setting or back in the olden days when prince and princesses married to keep the line pure?
It's painfully YA, and reads like it was written by a teen.
I'm honestly baffled that this book got so many good reviews. It's not even a matter of taste, this is a terrible book.
TLDR - Book = Bad
