Young adult science fiction lovers will find Jimmy Tran’s Spark and Ignite: Infinitium White an enthralling read. Weaving an intriguing plot, Jimmy whisked me away from reality and dropped me into a world of endless imagination with a succinct writing style and vivid depictions. A thin veil of distinction hangs between succeeding scenes, demanding the utmost attention to detect the switch in scenes. This gives the storyline a complex touch. The cast’s traits and emotions are brought out, anchoring the story’s grip on reality. This allowed me to connect with the cast. Saveas and his kind want back their powers, but I wondered if perhaps they were not ready for what they can do with them, or what they will become once they have them.

Sci-fi fans will enjoy the adventure, suspense, action, and thrills in this read.

Spark and Ignite: Infinitium White is an action fantasy by Jimmy Tran with themes of magic, demonology, and futuristic warfare. In Amadon, children are persecuted for using magic but a group of young friends wish to change how their world is ruled. Saveas, Amare, and the siblings Olan and Qolani strive for a kinder and gentler future but the steps they take set in motion a war that will forever tarnish Amadon. Known as the Hellhound, the leader of the Hellhounds, Pyr, takes charge of the rebellion against the Solar. The four friends follow his rule but soon realize that for Pyr they might just be pawns in his quest for power. Will Saveas and Amare's love stand the test of war and bloodshed and will the siblings' alliance with Pyr be fruitful or lead to the destruction of all they know and love?

Spark and Ignite is a fast-paced novel with elements of an action comic book. There is a lot of dialogue during the action scenes, and Jimmy Tran also uses onomatopoeia to add to the action's closeness and authenticity. The sentences are often very lyrically phrased in the sense that descriptive and poetic-sounding language is used. One of the lead characters, the ringleader Pyr, speaks only in rhyme, adding a mystical and mysterious quality to his character. “Capture the light, enrapture the night, recapture your sight. Tonight, we set this world alight!” he says as “a facade of pleasure and glee was on his face.” Powerful themes and characters and an emphasis on well-detailed action make for a gripping and entertaining novel.

Spark and Ignite: Infinitium White by Jimmy Tran is captivating science fiction with strong hints of dystopia. The story introduces the neon city of Dithyramb, which once was prosperous when childhood friends Saveas, Amare, Qolani, Olan, and Galtai roamed freely, but now is seriously threatened by the monsters it has created. The Golden Ones rule this city, and magic is forbidden. A species known as the yitsiyr is hunted by the knights for doing what their kind has always done. They possess thick horns and cloven hooves on a humanoid body. As the oppression from the Solar's rule continues, Saveas and friends are determined to fight for its abolition. The creation of the Hellhounds becomes the catalyst that ensures the undoing of The Golden Ones, plunging the city into war. Can the oppressed find justice against the powerful?

This well-crafted tale will appeal to science fiction and fantasy fans with its impeccable world-building and relatable characters. The conflict in Spark and Ignite pits technology against magic and plunges readers into a world where the powerful few lord it over the majority, and technology reigns supreme. The story features compelling characters from the main cast of Saveas, Amare, Qolani, Olan, and Galtai to even the side characters including Torrential, Downpour, and Lady Nightshade. Many action scenes punctuate the narrative, and the author builds the drama with intelligent dialogue. I enjoyed Jimmy Tran's ability to evoke strong imagery in the narrative, like the image of the Alcaeus, home to the Solar, a colossal disc that floats above the blackened city. The author uses magical elements like the mana — the crystals at the siphon — that give power to the yitsiyr to create a magical atmosphere that counters the brutality of the knights. The terrific descriptions and the beautiful prose make this an enjoyable tale.
