A review by bunny_herondale
Saviors of the Sun by J.L. Estilo
4.0
First of all, I would like to give a huge thank you to the author for sending me an e-arc of the book in exchange of a honest review. All thoughts are on my own.
So, it took me a long time to write this review because two things came up with me at a time, one of them being school chores and the second one is that I couldn't put into words everything that I have to say.
So, I will probably update this review in the future, preferably after I had time to re-read my favorite scenes and quotes of the book (doing that usually helps me to organize my ideas)
This is such an amazing idea, set in the Earth but in a futuristic set (not that futuristic like we see in sci-fi movies but definitely more advanced that 2022 Earth) we follow the story of Theresa and 9 of her students. Almost everyone of her students are from different countries.
Sounds pretty normal, then, another teacher kills almost all of the students except this 9 and Theresa, kidnaps them, takes them to another planet and tells them they're the saviors of the sun and that he's got to kill them.
The premise is amazing and the book keeps getting better, one thing I enjoyed is watching Theresa keeping such a strong faith in God and her religion even though everything around her tells her God is not that powerful. I always love a character that keep faithful to their personal beliefs but still does everything they can to keep themselves and their loved ones safe.
Another thing I enjoyed is that not all the main characters are likeable, there are bullies and mean girls, a couple of them you could come to understand them but didn't actually have a likeable personality, and I enjoyed that, it's realistic, in every other boon that I read that has this number of main characters, the author always tries to make them have at least a likeable characteristic since the beginning, and here it wasn't like that, at least not for me.
I think this review is kinda messed up but I didn't want to not talk about the book here, probably when I'm a little more free with school I would update this review and make it make sense.
