My Book Review of The Rebels:
The novel The Rebels,
the sequel to The Empire, is as engrossing
as the first book in the series. The author, Elizabeth Lang, once again creates
an adroit plot with strong direction and fascinating characters.
The novel picks up where The
Empire left off, with heroes, Adrian, Kali and Bryce, turned fugitive and
on the run. Quickly, trouble follows and the intrepid band of three are
separated, with Adrian falling into the clutches of a bounty hunter and Kali
and Bryce out to rescue him. But things are never what they seem, with changes
of heart, and new faces and old stirring up danger.
As with the last book in the series, The Rebels best strength lies in its strong characters and their
interaction with one another. Despite the fact the two main characters of
Adrian and Kali are separated for much of the book, I like the way the author
intensified their relationship. Also, I enjoyed the subtle interplay between
the bounty hunter and the new character of Dr. Adding. They challenged each
other, with attraction and respect creeping in over time.
The storyline is nicely paced and meshes together smoothly,
with a deft touch of tension in the right spots. I did find the endgame of the
plot a bit predictable, if still entertaining. However the cliffhanger at the
end was out of the blue and shocker for me (I definitely did not see that twist
coming).
The Rebels is a
terrific book and I highly recommend it.
