pickGiven how many fantasies come in trilogies, it was nice to see Thomas wrap up this story in one sequel instead of stretching it out to two. This book is more character focused, especially in the relationship between Teo and Aurelio, but there was still a twist I wasn't expecting that hit me in the feels.
Good example of diverse representation and queer characters without the queerness being the conflict.
September #ReadingBracket2024 fiction update
It was very close to being three months in a row of Alexandra Rowland books. However, although I adored Yield Under Great Persuasion, Celestial Monsters beat it out. The conclusion to the Sunbearer Duology was very exciting and satisfying
pickThis was a terrific ending to this wonderful duology. I really enjoyed the quest that Teo, Aurelio and Niya went on. This book was adventurous and packed with action.
pickThe book starts immediately where the last book left off. I would suggest re-reading the first book or reading the wiki because it goes straight into action and assumes you remember everything that happened.
I liked that it started this way. It was a continuation and that really worked for this series.

Ooo #Netgalley approved my request! I'm so excited. I loved the first book.
TBR what? Shush. New shiny.
pickFinishing this on my birthday is my favorite gift! I can‘t say much since this isn‘t out until September, but I LOVE this world. I purposefully tried to slow myself down because I didn‘t want it to end, but I also couldn‘t stop devouring it. I‘m going to miss Reino del Sol and all of these characters. I foresee many rereads in the future! 🦜❤️🔥
Made a reading nest in our dome. The kiddos and I are reading dinosaur books and I have my kindle for the arc of Celestial Monsters! 🦜 (It‘s 44*F so I‘m kind of freezing. 😂)
I am checking Edelweiss EVERY DAY to see if I can request an arc yet! Aiden Thomas is my absolute favorite author of YA and I cannot wait to finish Teo‘s story!!!!! 😍😍😍
