A review by fashoti
The Crimson Spark by William Hastings

5.0

This was such an intriguing book. Normally I am unable to get emotionally invested in the characters but the story is so descriptive and captivating, and the characters well developed and realistic it made it easy to get in too deep. The world is it's own without being ridiculously complicated and hard to understand, which for a fantasy novel can be hard to come by sometimes.

I mean the one thing I really didn't like is someone can control insects because it implies they can control and enlarge spiders and that is terrifying. But otherwise, the idea of delving is pretty cool and I like how it can be anything from controlling insects to ice powers but still controlled in a way (pulses).

I actually cried... a few times.

I loved this, I am dying to know more about this world, and about the characters.
