    4.5 stars! This book!

    I love how raw and genuine the emotions are in this book! It’s part of what made me fall in love with this novel!

    Every character in the crew is unique and well-written. Their strengths and flaws are highlighted so well, and I love their development throughout the book. Which leads me to my next point about this lovely story…the relationships! Although romance plays a part in this story, the friendships are what truly shine. Each character has a specific relationship with the other, and even in friend groups, the dyamics are unique and realistic. I brushed over the romance aspect, so let me return and emphasize how adorable it was! It’s so pure and heartwarming, yet it doesn’t take over the story but flows with the rest of the plot.

    Admittedly, there were a few lines that I struggled to find believable because of how movie-like they seemed, but on the whole the dialogue was well-crafted.

    Another part I appreciated is how all of the timelines/perspectives tie together so well and converge beautifully.

    I love how the setting incorporates medieval England with the prospect of a magical island! It’s such a unique concept, and I can’t wait to find out more about the world!

    Christianity is woven into this book so well, and it’s a credit to Christian fiction! The struggles of the characters’ walks with Christ are real and genuine. However, I love how, at the end of the day, their faith shapes them, their decisions, and even their grief.

    Does this book have a few flaws? Of course, but every book does. But the worldbuilding, characters, and themes brought it all together. This is her debut novel, so I can’t wait to see what her future works look like!

    There are some books that are so wonderful it’s hard to find the words to adequately speak about them...Saving Zora is one of those books!

    Katie Marie wrote an epic tale filled with SO MUCH PAIN, battles, fierce female characters, sarcastic friends, soft-yet-strong guys, and truths of how God takes care of and helps us.

    Everything was so tastefully written and Katie’s writing style is just *sighs in reader happiness*
    The faith aspects felt natural, not forced. It was great to read a book where the characters had a firm trust in Christ the entirety of the book and sought Him!!

    I could seriously go on about this book for eons, trying to address every brilliant aspect of Saving Zora! From the characters to the descriptions to ALL THE PLOT TWISTS (😱🤯), Saving Zora quickly became a favorite of mine!

    If you love adventures, romance, and any or all of the things I mentioned in this review, go grab a copy of this gorgeous book!!!

    I recommend this for readers 16 years and older due to the violence and gore that comes from all the battles. Other than the blood and killing, this book is really clean (no vulgar language and romance going no farther than kissing).

    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2022

    Saving Zora is a YA Christian fantasy novel. I gave the book 4 out of 5 stars because I have a couple of critiques, but overall I did come away with a positive opinion of the book. Some of my critique is due to phrasing (which may come down to my personal taste to a degree) and the frequency of typos which I noticed, although not everyone is bothered by them as much (I can be a grammar nazi). Being a plot-driven story, I have some critique of character development in the book.

    However, as far as positives, I think Katie Marie did a good job using her imagination to create a world in which Zora feels believable and the characters feel comfortable there. There is nothing so fantastical that it feels out of place or distracting. Consequently, as a reader I did not feel like I had to force myself to follow the characters throughout the book. She also did a great job making the characters' personalities unique from one another, and I liked how she had multiple sources of conflict that she made converge for the characters to confront together at the end.

    I would recommend Saving Zora to anyone looking for a fantasy adventure novel, and I am looking forward to Katie Marie's next book!
