THE SAVIOR’S CHAMPION ~ JENNA MORECI
I LOVED this book so much.
I approached The Savior’s Champion with caution but I am glad to say it did NOT disappoint. The Savior’s Champion is a fantasy tale following the experiences of Tobias Kaya as circumstances force him to join the Savior’s Tournament.
*SPOILER FREE REVIEW*
PROS:
What I liked most about this book was the Romance. It is healthy, slow but passionate and overall beautiful. The characters were all great. I loved how fleshed out Leila’s character is. She was definitely my favorite character alongside Tobias, Orion and Delphi. The twists and turns of the book got me wanting more, and even though I predicted the final twist, it still managed to surprise me and get me all wrecked and emotional. The EMOTIONS! This book made me feel, FEEL. None stop. Wether I was crying or melting, swooning or simply loathing the antagonists this book had me on an emotional rollercoaster (in the good sense).
CONS:
For me the only downside of the book was how one death was not dealt with in depth. Now, to be fair, this only happened with one character who was pretty much an asshole. Still, his death threw me (and obviously him) off a little bit. Apart from that my only complain is that the second book is not in my hands right now so I can devour it.
OVERALL:
Jenna Moreci did an AMAZING job with this book and I can’t recommend it enough. If you like well built Romances with HEALTHY relationships, sweet but flawed protagonists, strong AND empathic female characters, high stakes, a touch of magic and plots that keep you wanting more; then The Savior’s Champion should be your next read.
Still here? Why are you still reading this review? Go and read this AWESOME BOOK! NOW!!!

Shut Up and Write The Book Review
First, I wanted to thank Jenna for giving me an E-ARC in return for an honest review. That being said, all thoughts and comments below are my honest opinions and I stand by them.
If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. If you are a fan of Jenna's YouTube videos where she shares her thoughts and opinions on different writing topics with her own brand of snarky humor then you will love this book, if you are in the market for a nonfiction book about the writing process that is.
I have read many writing craft books over the years. Everything from Save the Cat and Save the Cat Writes a Novel to books like The 38 Most Common Fiction Writing Mistakes and How To Avoid them, and Shut Up and Write the Book is by far the best at explaining its message of the writing process.
Shut Up and Write the Book succeeds where other books of the genre fail, by simplifying an already overwhelming process by explaining things in a more conversational manner. I found with books like Save the Cat and its spiritual successors; the authors take a more academic or clinical approach when explaining the process. Jenna takes what can be a difficult and very overwhelming process and makes it easily digestible. I don't know about you, but for me back when I was in school like 100 years ago, I had a hard time understanding the "rules" of any course when they were explained academically. A lot of times it took the teacher breaking it down conversationally for me to grasp the concept at hand. That being said, I have a learning disability that affects the way I learn, even to this day.
In addition to breaking down the outlining process there are other helpful hints and tips throughout the book. Jenna breaks down the editing process, which is more prudent for those who are going the indie route. There's a whole chapter devoted to critique partners, beta readers, and sensitivity readers. A chapter all about titleing your book and so much more.
I am outlining (truly for the first time) my next book and Shut Up and Write the Book has already streamlined what I found to be an extremely daunting process. Besides that, at this moment in time, I am querying a book and some of the feedback has planted a seed that was fully sprouted by reading this book. So I am going to make those changes and then re-query my manuscript to see if that makes any difference for me.
If you are on the fence about yet another craft book thinking, you won't get anything new from it. I feel you should give it a read for yourself before passing your judgment. I found this book 100 times more helpful than most of the craft books I've read, including those more popular titles.
