The Seventh Spark is a fictional piece authored by J.B. Lion, focusing on supernatural occurrences and the adventures of immortal beings. The narrative unfolds beyond mortal comprehension, revolving around the brotherhood led by "Armin," renowned for his battle prowess, as they seek to replace a fallen comrade among the Divine 12. To determine the most suitable replacement, the 11 Knights nominate their top students to engage in a tournament overseen by Archangel Michael, ultimately resulting in Clandor, the student of Stevyn, emerging victorious in a well-deserved triumph.
 
The reason I love this book is due to the author's captivating storytelling style, which utilizes compelling graphic illustrations to paint vivid imagery in the minds of readers. This immersive approach effectively transports readers into the world of the characters and events portrayed in the story, leaving them eager for more. The immersive nature of the story's artistry greatly enhances the reading experience and adds depth to the narrative. Additionally, the character of "Armin," the leader of the order of knights, stands out as particularly compelling, as his strength, wisdom, and tactical prowess are masterfully depicted, making him a captivating figure within the story.
 
The reason I dislike this book is because it failed to deliver on the expectations set by the opening preface, which promised a total of 16 chapters. However, the book only contained six chapters, leaving readers feeling disappointed and unsatisfied with the incomplete narrative. This lack of fulfilment in the story's structure detracts from the overall enjoyment of what could have been a compelling fiction work. The book editing was okay, but I did find a grammar error.
 
I gave this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because it excels in portraying supernatural occurrences and the adventures of immortal beings, providing an intriguing premise centred around the brotherhood led by "Armin." The author's captivating storytelling style, enhanced by compelling graphic illustrations, effectively immerses readers into the narrative, with "Armin" emerging as a particularly compelling character due to his strength and wisdom. 
 
However, the book falls short of delivering on its promise of a complete narrative, as indicated by the opening preface, which mentions 16 chapters. With only six chapters present, readers are left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied with the incomplete storyline. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy immersive fiction with supernatural elements and compelling, character-driven narratives.
