Reviewed by Natalie Soine for Readers’ Favorite with a 5-Star Review
The Rekindler by Chiara Talluto is a dystopian novel that explores themes of faith, revival, and resistance in a world dominated by a one-world government and religion. It weaves a story of faith, perseverance, and hope in the face of adversity. The characters, particularly Benjamin Morris, are well-developed and relatable, and we can connect with their struggles and determination to uphold their beliefs in a hostile world. The novel also explores the importance of faith and the power of religious conviction in inspiring people to fight for their beliefs. Author Chiara Talluto successfully creates a dystopian world that feels both unsettling and believable. She explores complex themes of religious freedom, persecution, and the resilience of faith with depth and sensitivity. The story’s pacing keeps the reader engaged, and the suspense builds as the characters navigate the challenges of their mission. I found The Rekindler to be thought provoking and inspiring. An absolute pleasure to read.

Synopsis:
Truth has a price, but a kindle sets a blaze.
2032, the USA is a forgotten memory. UNO, a one-world government, rules the populated world. There is one true religion, KASTAM; it’s a philosophy of moral relativism, steeped in pagan rituals and metaverse realities, outlined in the Visphonice. If anyone is found practicing other religions they’ll be persecuted and featured online for all to witness.
Captain Benjamin Morris, a former Marine and faithful Christian, has watched the demise of the USA and the rising iron grip of UNO. Upon discovering a hand-written testimony of the final days, he is fixed on resurrecting Christianity. His hard work for a revival has proven fruitless until he recruits a unique squad of five disciples. With rejuvenated courage, he and his new team arm themselves with biblical teachings, determined to share the Gospel of Christ. However, Morris has an even bigger mission to reach the masses.
