A Spark of Vengeance
by Rebecca Ethington
A Spark of Vengeance by Rebecca Ethington is the first in a new spin-off Imdalind series about Ryland Krul. I’ll admit I was equal parts excited and nervous for this book. Ryland was my favorite character at the beginning of the Imdalind series and by the end I was heartbroken for and terrified of him.
A Spark of Vengeance picks up three years after the end of [b:Crown of Cinders|32059737|Crown of Cinders (Imdalind, #7)|Rebecca Ethington|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1475781146s/32059737.jpg|52702197]. Ryland is now Jos’s second in command. Ilyan is missing, presumed dead and she has become the rightful queen of Imdalind. At first I really wasn’t sure how this would work. Ry went from loving Jos to trying to kill her to being completely crazy thanks to Edmund. However I love how Ethington handles this. Told exclusively from Ry’s POV, you get to understand his thought process and his daily struggles. My heart broke all over again for this boy, now man.
The plot of this book is fairly simple at first glance. Ry and the survivors of Sain’s war are looking for Chosen (those bitten by the infected Vily) in order to save them and teach them to use their new found powers. Joclyn is the only one that can heal them properly from the infected magic. At the beginning of the book Ry and Thom are attacked while looking for these Chosen. Now there is suspicion that Ovailia, who they thought was dead, is planning an attack on them.
Wyn and Ry travel to London to investigate and things get hairy. I personally like the plot of this series more than Imdalind I think (and that’s saying a lot!). There’s more magic, more history about the people of Imdalind, just more everything. I love seeing my favorite characters in a new light and new situations. And I LOVE the dystopian element of this series as it is set after the fall of Prague.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. Ryland has his hands full and I cannot wait to see where Ethington takes his character. His character has a lot of growing to do still and there are many things ahead of him that will test and try him. I can’t wait
