The descriptions of the whole world in the book are just so realistic and well done that I could picture myself in the book. I haven’t read too many books set like this, and after reading this book, I definitely want more. The desert setting in Rebel of the Sands really intrigued me. They make what could have been a simple Western novel into this super incredible story that is sure to enlighten any reader. I absolutely adored the mythical beasts in the book. Rebel of the Sands is such a creative and interesting book! This novel combines mythology and the desert, resulting in one unputdownable fantasy. Review: Rebel of the Sands By Alwyn Hamilton ❀ A creative and interesting book This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Rebel of the Sands reveals what happens when a dream deferred explodes-in the fires of rebellion, of romantic passion, and the all-consuming inferno of a girl finally, at long last, embracing her power. But though she’s spent years dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she’d gallop away on mythical horse-or that it would take a foreign fugitive to show her the heart of the desert she thought she knew.

Then she meets Jin, a rakish foreigner, in a shooting contest, and sees him as the perfect escape route. She’s a gifted gunslinger with perfect aim, but she can’t shoot her way out of Dustwalk, the back-country town where she’s destined to wind up wed or dead. For humans, it’s an unforgiving place, especially if you’re poor, orphaned, or female.Īmani Al’Hiza is all three. Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mythical beasts still roam the wild and remote areas, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinn still perform their magic.
