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

3.0

This book felt a lot longer than it needed to be. I’m glad I listened to the audiobook because if I had been reading a physical copy I probably would have binned it a long time ago just because it drags so often. I liked Eve: The Awakening from this author but noticed a similar issue in this book to one I noticed in Eve. She has a tendency to overuse one specific phrase or word. In Eve it was the words “twosome” and “threesome” when talking about characters in groups together. In this, it’s the word “apologies.” In almost every conversation in the book after a certain point has a character beginning a line of dialogue by saying “apologies”. It’s a small thing but it builds to be very grating as you keep slogging through the story.

Speaking of story, was anybody at all surprised by the big reveal? I doubt anybody made it past the first introduction of a certain character without calling who they would end up being. It was so obvious that it made every following interaction with them kind of irritating because I caught myself rolling my eyes and thinking “yeah yeah we get it, very mysterious.”

I watch the authors YouTube videos and it’s weird because she has many videos dedicated to these specific issues so I’m not sure why she can’t take her own advice.
