Review - The Kindred's Curse Saga by Penn Cole

Updated: Aug 19




Hey you. Everything they said was true. All of it.

🔥You who love ACOTAR.

🔥You who own multiple editions of Throne of Glass.

🔥You who can’t stop thinking about Fourth Wing.

🔥You who thinks she’s already read her favorite Romantasy series and has nothing to look forward to.


Penn Cole’s The Kindred’s Curse Saga is for you.


Imagine the most popular Romantasy series you’ve read and loved – just like that read, this world is not going to let you go. Sure, you’ll now be chasing the experience of reading Penn Cole’s series for a while, but you wouldn’t take it back for the world. And, you know the drill, these books will become ones you’d trade about anything to get to read for the first time again.  


These books are why we love reading. Because you can be in a slump, thinking you’ve already read the best that BookTok or Bookstagram has to offer – and then stumble upon a series like this and start the process all over again. So, if you need a reminder that there will be another unexpected “Roman Empire” Romantasy series, do yourself a favor and pick up Spark of the Everflame. (Note: your TBR will likely go up in flames after that because you’ll want to start Glow, and then you'll need to start Heat after that).





The reader in me loves how completely immersive Diem and Luther’s story is. The literature student in me loves the gorgeous writing and expert pacing. The skeptic in me discovered that these are characters I could easily root for and believe in. And the book reviewer in me would pick this as her “one recommendation” for you, if pressed.  


Here you’ll find slow burn (honestly, it's top tier) and eventual spice as the series progresses, political intrigue, found family, “he falls first.” Strength and moral compasses, deception and bargains. And THE best declaration from a love interest I’ve ever read.


Still not convinced?  How about these for endorsements?

  • I started this series less than two weeks ago and am already nearly done with the third book. I tried to pace myself and draw this out, I really did.  

  • This past month I read some of the best books of the last few years – many of which were also 5-stars for me—but Cole’s are the ones I continue to think about.

  • And perhaps most telling of all – these books are available on Kindle Unlimited, but 20% of the way into Spark of the Everflame, I’d ordered all three of these gorgeous hardcovers.


The final installment, Burn of the Everflame, comes out June 1st.  You still have time to catch up and join in the fun next month!
