I received a free copy of this book from Black Chateau and the author. All opinions are my own.

In the world of Senia, lawlessness consumes much of the planet, save for few city-states. Two of the most powerful, White Heart and Avalon, prepare for war with each other. In light of this approaching threat, a White Heart general, Amber Leavett, is green-lighted to form a special-ops unit, comprised of the best of the best, dedicated to protecting the innocent in a time of darkness. An ambitious general, a gunslinging tactician, an attack dog, a savage berserker, a cyborg raven, a sensual vigilante, a civil-rights leader, a ghastly thanatologist, and an orphan cryomancer, are all united because of their common enemies, and they become the indomitable Guardians. By overcoming the battles they face, they make a name for themselves as heroes of legend.
Drawing a cast of other vivid characters and factions into the fray, Our Guardian Renegade brims with unique and fascinating stories of intertwined fates, and it delves deep into themes of society, race, gender, and sexuality. It is a fast-paced, cinematically driven read, in which every character is involved in the conflicts taking place in the world of Senia. – Amazon.com

I love video games. I love books. I love books that are wrote like video games. So when I read this book I was super excited that it was wrote like a video game and that the story was so fast paced and adventurous! I felt the characters were all very well developed, the story arc was amazing, and that the pacing fit the book very well. The writing was also very well done and it really made this gamer girl very very happy.

The only thing I would say to watch out for are the mild sexual scenes and the violence. There is a lot of violence in this book. The book also talks about society, racism, gender, and sexuality, so if you’re on the younger teen side this might not be the book for you as some of the themes get a little deep.

Verdict: Absolutely loved this book! It’s a great book for anyone looking for an adventurous book and it’s amazing for gamers and non-gamers alike! Definitely put this on your wishlist for Santa this Christmas!
