For Our Souls was an interesting book to read. The story follows six souls as they navigate purgatory, Heaven, and the trials to see if they are worthy of reincarnation. These souls’ journey is not easy; they must face how they were and acted before death. Can the six withstand the trials? Or will they fail? And who will be blessed with reincarnation?
For Our Souls was a fast read. Because it was so short, some characters weren’t as fleshed out as they could have been. Reading took me over a couple of hours.
The characters in For Our Soul felt flat (see above paragraph). I had a hard time connecting with them. I did enjoy seeing their individual growth over the book, though. It made the scenes where they accepted who they were in life so much sadder to read.
I did enjoy the main storyline. The portrayal of purgatory was very creepy (with the demons). I liked the friendships that formed between them all and how they supported each other to the end.
The end of For Our Soul was sweet. I liked how the author wrapped everything up and tied everything together.
I would recommend For Our Soul to anyone over 16. There is mild violence, no language, and one nongraphic scene of a girl about to get sexually assaulted.
Many thanks to Rashidul Huda for allowing me to read and review For Our Soul. All opinions stated in this review are mine.
