Review of Rise of the Savior
[Following is a volunteer review of "Rise of the Savior" by Antoine Bonner.]
If you happen to watch a lot of hero-based movies, you have heard this line, ‘with great power comes greater responsibility,’ a couple of hundred times. If I had the fortune of receiving superhuman abilities, I would surely go for the ability to fly and the ability to tell if a person is lying to me. The flying power is obvious for traveling reasons and the ability to sense lies; well, I bet every parent wants this superhuman ability when raising a troupe of mischievous children who break everything in the house in record time and always quote the line ‘it wasn’t me.’
Amanda is an eighteen-year-old girl with eighteen-year-old- girl problems and she is nowhere close to solving them. All she wants to do is to go to college and compete in karate. All these changes when she gets into an accident together with her dad but she is saved by an ancient deity of truth, making her an acolyte of truth. This transformation comes with a cool ability to summon guns and flush out liars in an instant. Coincidentally, Jamie, a doctor in the hospital in which Amanda and her dad are in, is also in a life or death situation when he is transformed into an acolyte of death. Jamie views these new abilities as a way to heal his dying son and take out his cheating wife. When the acolyte of death decides to target Saira, Amanda’s sister to heal his son, Amanda has to make some sacrifices, to save her sister and save the whole world from sure death and destruction.
Rise of the Savior: Acolyte of Truth by Antoine Bonner is an action-packed, high-octane read that had me at the edge of my seat for the better part of the week. The book is erratic and magical, but it also packs a punch concerning its delivery of various scenes in the book. The author has used creative and descriptive language to pass his information across. It is very easy to create graphical scenes as well as enjoy and live through them to the fullest, together with the characters. The characters’ emotions are delivered such that one can’t help but feel sorry and cry in the traumatic scenes; even when they involve the villain of the story. It is simply exquisite!
I am glad to report that Rise of the Savior has no negative aspect to it. The book appears to be exceptionally well-edited as I came across no errors. However, I was surprised to note that the book has a couple of profane words. But after some thought, I believe that they are well placed within the plot of the story. I am happy to award this book four out of four stars for the reasons above.
Rise of the Savior is suitable for an audience of all ages but some parental guidance is advised for younger children, with regards to the violent scenes and profanity. The book is an entertaining read, good for taking one’s mind off things after a long day at work. Moreover, the book gives a lesson on the importance of responsibility and the purity of sacrifices.
