A review by thepsychonyx
The Savior's Champion by Jenna Moreci

5.0

I’m just going to complain real quick about other reviews before I give mine because I genuinely think it’s plain stupid to attempt to review and bring down a rating of an entire book when you only read the free preview chapters. That’s like giving a movie a rating based on the trailers, it’s dumb.

Onto the book itself, there were some things that I believe could use an improvement but overall I genuinely adored my experience with this book and its characters so much so I read it stupid quick.

Jenna’s writing is well paced and the turns were interesting as well as the negative emotions certain scenes prompted, you felt angry when Tobias was angry etc.

Cons:
One of my issues with the book was the overuse of sentence structures that were basically “words words words words, yes?” But then I considered to look at the use of the “yes?” As a common saying or sentence structure in Moreci’s world and it made me enjoy it much more though still a slight pet peeve.
I felt the “bad guys” were a tad Machiavellian, hopefully this improves for the next book
More world building in actually detailing what makes the architecture from Thessan distinct would have been nice, again I hope this improves in the next book.

Pros:
The violence was well written and impactful.
Jenna’s writing is well paced.
Gave the reader a good sense of empathy, I genuinely felt mad when Tobias was mad, felt his frustrations and his desire.
The relationship is HEALTHY, the romance is wonderful.
Tonnes of diversity, something fantasy tends to lack.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and despite some pet peeves it’s definitely a 5/5 on my scale because it did what it set out to and so much more. So proud of you Jenna!
