A Sea of Stars

While this was a pretty fun MG, it also was very hard for me to suspend my disbelief in the plot.

So apparently there are 36 "Pure" souls who keep God from raining down fiery annihilation on the world. These Pure are not saints, or "goody-goodies", but just inherently good people whose very presence make them stand out as being someone special. Also these Pure souls reincarnate at appointed times after normal deaths, and also after being murdered.

The Blood Guard is tasked with protecting these Pure from...

...bad guys aka The Bend Sinister, who think that humanity needs a new start, so they're gonna use a super special machine to capture the Pure souls so they can't reincarnate, effectively bringing about the end of the world. However, they think that they will be humanity's new start; that they will still be alive at the end of this. How they expect to survive God destroying the world, I can't quite figure out.

I don't know. It was just a bit far-fetched. But beyond the plot, it was an action-packed story with some fun characters, Dawkins being my favorite. I'll be checking out the second one.
