Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn HamiltonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was a slow start, and despite the pretty cover, I was hesitant to continue reading it after scanning through some reviews. I decided to push through, and I am so glad I did!
As I said before...SLOW beginning. The setting was different than your normal YA novel, and other than a magic horse, I didn't really see any hint of the fantasy genre. I could see the romantic setup coming from a mile away, but I didn't mind it. The characters were likeable, and the world-building is strong.
If you like a character that toes the line of being a villain, this book is definitely for you. Hamilton does a great job depicting her protagonists, but an even better job making one of her "bad" guys relatable.
Overall, I thought this was an enjoyable read. Just be prepared to sift through a few chapters before being hooked.
