A review by seashelly
The Savior's Champion by Jenna Moreci
3.0
It started off great, and it made me so excited to continue, but after about halfway through I was just... bored.
The main character went from someone good forced to make questionable decisions to a just Good Guy with barely any other characteristics. The love interest was definitely likeable, and has far more memorable traits, and it left me wishing she was the main focus of the book.
I liked the not-overly-explained-but-still-there worldbuilding, and the writing style was pretty great for the genre (far less descriptions than I thought, made me happy).
I know it's new adult, but jesus, if I had taken a shot for every time the word 'cock' gets mentioned, I'd be dead by now, which I guess is a gripe. I don't mind foul language, but did it have to happen THAT often?
Another gripe was that I just felt... disconnected. From everything happening. Important people died and my sole reaction was 'huh, okay', and the bigger problem: that was the book's reaction too. It didn't dwell on them at all.
And finally, and sadly, the plot twists were pretty damn obvious.
I'm SO SAD because I REALLY wanted to love this book. But here it is, and here I am, and here also this review with a not-amazing rating is. :(
