Publisher's summary

"Listeners will be captivated...André Santana keeps the tension in his narration taut as Teo wrestles with both physical challenges and his own feelings of inferiority."—AudioFile on The Sunbearer Trials

New York Times-bestselling author Aiden Thomas returns to the beloved world of The Sunbearer Trials in Celestial Monsters, 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.

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. With it, order can be restored.

The future of the whole world is in their hands.

Critic reviews

"All of the charms of the first book suffuse this second outing; the Latine world with Gods, monsters, and magic continuously delights, the action-packed fights make for a quick pace, and the tender heart-to-hearts with friends and family, along with normalization of genderqueer identities, keep the narrative fun and heartwarming."—BCCB

all the feels

This was so good! I feel like I blazed through it. I really enjoyed Sunbearer Trials when it came out, but Celestial Monsters had me in my feelings. I really enjoyed seeing the characters evolve.

Perfect and still I want MORE

I am so sad this series is only 2 books, but I love them as is. Aiden Thomas has a gift for writing complex characters and I am grieving the loss of their story in my day.

Absolutely phenomenal

I love Aiden's writing. The way he sets scenes and describes emotions and sensations is beautiful. But this book is above and beyond what I've come to expect from them. The way Xio's point of view was incorporated throughout the book is so interesting and really helps the reader understand the end of The Sunbearer Trials and what Xio was actually trying to accomplish. Meanwhile, the hell Teo, Aurélio, and Niya go through is so emotional and compelling, I could hardly put the book down. I loved all of the creatures they ran into and I especially loved the little village they encountered near the end of the story. Such a great book, I loved every last second of it.

What a wonderful conclusion!

This was just as wonderful as the first book and still held me the entire time. Without spoilers I just love seeing characters grow and endure through their struggles. It was just wonderful and made me so happy to read the final chapters. This was a fitting ending to a wonderful world and story shared with us! Thank you for a wonderful story and beloved characters!
