Book Review: Eclipse the Flame by Ingrid Seymour
Eclipse the Flame by Ingrid Seymour is the perfect sequel to Ignite the Shadows. This is such a perfect sci fi novel with hacking and infections, and is so believable since it is set in our world. I also loved the main character and her martial arts skills. Honestly, I enjoyed this book better than the first one because it is much more action packed!
❀ Ultimate Sci-Fi Novel
Eclipse the Flame is the ultimate sci-fi novel! In the book, the world’s population is becoming infected with parasites that target the brain. The infected look just like everyone else, which is the scary thing. This book has everything from resistance groups to hacking, making it a read that sci fi lovers will definitely enjoy!
❀ Realistic Setting
I loved how Eclipse the Flame takes place in our world. All the fights, all the infected, everything is so easy to picture. The way all the sci fi aspects are incorporated into Seattle was so well done. The city isn’t destroyed, and Marci finds herself in clubs and coffee shops. I found these details made the book more believable since there were many features that are familiar to the reader. While reading, I could definitely imagine the events in Eclipse the Flame happening in real life.
❀ Marci is a fierce main character
Marci is such a fierce main character. I really enjoyed her martial arts skills as I don’t see much of that in YA. Marci also has so much determination. Since no longer being a part of IgNiTe, she tries her best to prove herself and regain admittance. One of my favourite qualities about Marci is the fact that she is a pro hacker. I honestly don’t know much about hacking, but her ways of getting secret information were admirable. It’s kind of disappointing how I don’t see many computer savvy women in books, so Marci is a really unique character, in my opinion.
❀ Perfect for Sci-Fi Fans
Eclipse the Flame by Ingrid Seymour is the perfect book for sci fi fans with its hacking and real world setting. The main character is so strong and resolute. If you have yet to read the first book in the series, Ignite the Shadows, I would definitely recommend that you pick it up.
Book Quotes: Eclipse the Flame by Ingrid Seymour
“There are so many people inside I don’t see how I’ll be able to find anyone before I suffocate. So much for rebelling.”

I have never heard of this book before now! This book sure sounds like it would be an interesting read!
This series is so epic! I think that you will really love it!
I have had Ignite the SHadows for a long time, but I have yet to read it. I have heard some pretty amazing things about it, though. And now that there is a sequel, it might be about that time!
I hope that you enjoy it just as much as I do, Jaime!
This seems like such a strange premise that I can’t help but be interested. I’ll have to check it out.
I will have to check the first book. Because without it this blurb has me confused.
