Description
A heart-stopping duology finale, in which three young semidioses travel through a dark monster-infested world, facing down chaotic Obsidian gods, in a quest to save their friends and return the sun to the sky. Celestial Monsters is the sequel to mexican inspired YA fantasy The Sunbearer Trials, from the New York Times-bestselling author Aiden Thomas.
Teo never thought he could be a Hero. Now, he doesn’t have a choice.
The sun is gone, the Obsidian gods have been released from their prison, and chaos and destruction are wreaking havoc on Reino del Sol. All because Teo refused to sacrifice a fellow semidiós during the Sunbearer Trials.
With the world plunged into perpetual night, Teo, his crush Aurelio, and his best friend Niya must journey to the dark wilderness of Los Restos, battling vicious monsters while dealing with guilt, trauma, and a (very distracting) burgeoning romance between Teo and Aurelio. Determined to rescue the captured semidioses and retrieve the Sol Stone, the trio races against the clock to return Sol and their protective light so order can be restored.
Now the future of the whole world is in their hands.

ARGHHHHHH!! I LOVE TEO SO MUCH 🥹
The sunbearer trials was one of my top 10 books of 2023, and I was worried that this book would suffer second book syndrome… but it did not disappoint!!! 😍
We rejoin the story straight after the end of the sunbearer trials (I listened to the audiobook straight before this to get back into the world!) and we mainly follow Teo, Niya and Aurelio as they group together to try to revive Sol and rid the Obsidians from Reina Del Sol.
I loved the different POV in this story, so we get chapters from Xio’s point of view. It was great to get some of the story from their view and see their internal fight of finding a place in this new world.
Absolutely loved it!! All of it!!

This was by far one of my favourite follow ups to a book 1 in a duology probably ever. The banter, tricky situations and character growth was just as top tier as book 1.
Im literally sobbing while writing this because the level of sacrifice and acceptance at the end was crushing and so so heart warming all in one go. I really fell inlove with these characters even our more flawed ones, I really hope we get a novella or something with spin off adventures maybe.

Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Children's Books for approving my request to read an arc of this book
After loving the first book in the duology I was so excited to get the chance to read Celestial Monsters early.
This book picked up right where our heroes left off and was full of danger, humour, love and monsters!
I enjoyed this book so much and I’m so happy with how it ended. I don’t want to give any spoilers for the plot, but I will say that it was a very addictive and fast paced read that I devoured in a day.
I highly recommend reading this amazing sequel, it gave me so much trans joy 🏳️⚧️
