Quirky Cat
Book Summary:
Zaira Citali was born to die. Her sacrifice is meant to be in Ozvios's honor, but Zaira has trouble seeing it that way, so she promptly escapes. On her way to freedom, Zaira ran into Wesley – the boy prophesied to help defeat Ozvios.
Admittedly, this isn't a task that Wesley asked for. But then again, what child of prophecy ever had the chance to sign off on it? But together, he and Zaira are about to change the universe, hopefully for the better.
My Review:
Oh yes! I adore space operas. (Seriously, I can't get enough, so send me your recommendations!) Naturally, that meant I dove to read A Song of Salvation. While it is a solid science fiction novel, it does have fantasy and young adult elements, making it a unique blend of the three.
I should probably mention that while A Song of Salvation is billed as a standalone, it is technically the conclusion to one of Alechia Dow's trilogies. I didn't know that until after, so I deeply regret reading this out of order. You can still appreciate the book for what it is (I did), but I feel like you'll miss out on the opportunity to read the series as it was written.
What I loved the most about A Song of Salvation is Alechia Dow's take. I love her writing style and how she chose to see the world (universe?). Her story has found family, action and adventure, reincarnation elements, and a romantic subplot. In other words, it has something for everyone.
Highlights:
Space Opera
LGBT
Reincarnation
