duskangelreads 's review for:

Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
5.0

First review, where do I start??

Firstly I love a book with a strong female character who is breaking away from what she knows.
So Amani was a favourite character for me!

This was definitely a book full of twists and turns! Whilst reading I was constantly trying to think of what was going to happen next but I was never right, which I love.
There are a lot of dark concepts flying around in this book and definitely more than enough monsters hiding the dark! The world that Alwyn Hamilton created in this book was unreal, so much so that I could imagine it every step of the way. However she left enough description unwritten about certain things, like the monsters, this made you fear them as a reader and fear for the characters encountering them.
I also loved the romance that came through is this novel as our Blue Eyed Bandit (Amani) met a foreigner nicknamed the Eastern Snake.

Word also has it that this book will be the first book of a Trilogy! That will definitely be a purchase I don't even have to think about. Can't Wait!
