The Savior's Champion

Okay if you love a good tournament arc with actual stakes (people die in this one, do not get attached), this delivers. Tobias and Leila's slow burn is the best kind of frustrating - you're screaming at them to just kiss already while people are literally getting murdered around them. The ancient Greece-inspired world is a cool backdrop and Jenna Moreci writes action scenes that genuinely had me holding my breath. Fair warning: it ends on a cliffhanger so have book two ready.
