An Ember of Hope (War of Destiny Series) by Theresa Van Spankeren – Review by Amanda Swindle

An Ember of Hope: War of Destiny by Theresa Van Spankeren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An Ember of Hope delves into the backstory of Matthew De La Roche, and is part of the War of Destiny series. You *can* read it as a standalone, but makes much more sense to read them in order. This time around, Matthew has left the powerful family of vampires he was surrounded with previously, lost his soulmate, and began working with the mortals. As things start to feel almost normal, and he blends in with the mortals, soldiers began to come up missing. It wouldn’t be Matthew if he wasnt drawn to the conflict and the need to help. I like that this book gives some more depth to Matthew but it feels unnatural that he would throw himself into the human world so easily. I did like that the author incorporated emotions of mourning and loss, as well as confusion and powerlessness into all of it, and gave him those human emotions to draw you in further, and make him more likeable and relateable. Overall, I liked this one more than I thought that I would, and enjoyed the story as it progressed. Definitely read the others that go with the series as well.
