Rebel of the Sands

This book was a quick easy read. It was beautifully written and it's an adventure in your own room. The mystery, action, and adventures in this book bring you places but the emotions take you somewhere out of the world. I felt so connected to the characters. This book has a touch of magic with a dust of reality and a sprinkle of fantasy. It speaks to the problems we see and experienced in reality but wrap it together with the wonders of magic and fantasy.

Can we also talk about the cover? It's beautiful. If you love The Court of Mist and Fury or The Wrath and Dawn, then this book is the perfect fix.

I don't think I can summarize such an amazing and wild book so I will let Goodreads summarize it for you. Follow me on Goodreads to see what I am reading !

She’s more gunpowder than girl—and the fate of the desert lies in her hands.

Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mystical beasts still roam the wild and barren wastes, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinni still practice their magic. But there's nothing mystical or magical about Dustwalk, the dead-end town that Amani can't wait to escape from.

Destined to wind up "wed or dead," Amani’s counting on her sharpshooting skills to get her out of Dustwalk. When she meets Jin, a mysterious and devastatingly handsome foreigner, in a shooting contest, she figures he’s the perfect escape route. But in all her years spent dreaming of leaving home, she never imagined she'd gallop away on a mythical horse, fleeing the murderous Sultan's army, with a fugitive who's wanted for treason. And she'd never have predicted she'd fall in love with him... or that he'd help her unlock the powerful truth of who she really is.

The Court of Mist and Fury

The Court of Mist and Fury

My heart breaks so many times in this book. The emotional roller coaster is real. Feyre died in the first book but came back to life as a High Fae. You might think Feyre will be with the beast but the beast turns out to be blinded by love. Tamlin locked Feyre in her castle because he believes it was dangerous for her, and it was. But Feyre was not going to let anyone lock her out, she wants to help, she wants to save the people, and after all she has done and gone through, she wants to matter. She escaped with the help of Rhys. The were enemies once but grew fonder together. Feyre got to know a side of him that no one knew.

I wanted Feyre to be with Tamlin so badly but after spending time with Rhys, I fell in love with him myself. Every part of me knows Tamlin is the right one and in beauty and the beast, Feyre and Tamlin are meant together. But there is something about Rhys, he is willing to do anything for Feyre but also respect her as a person. He and Feyre have little fights all the time but it's hilarious. He is utterly romantic and knows how to make a girl grin in her sleep.

The ending of the story had me in awe. I still could not wrap my head about what has happen. The second book was a trap and the third book will be a murder to all your feels.

I am holding so much emotion right now. I have finals next week but I could not put this book down. It was unbelievable. Sarah's writing has a way to lure you into her little fingers and capture you to her land of fantasy. Once you are there, you do not even want to come back.

Feyre is a human that has hated Fairies all her life. Her mother died when she was young and she promised her mother to take care of her father and her two sisters. Since then, Feyre was the one who haunts and puts food on their plates. One day, Feyre killed a beastly wolf. It was a grand prize for her but a few nights after, another beast came for his revenge. He gave Feyre two choices, to live with him forever at his part of the land or to walk outside the door and be killed and torn to pieces. Feyre has a hard, stubborn soul and would not die so easily. She follows him but later discovers his was not just an ordinary fairy. Despite her hate towards faeries for wanting to kill all human kind, Feyre fell in love with Tamlin, the High Lord of the Faeries.

When she discovers that Tamlin was cursed and the only one who could save him was her, she risks everything, even her own life to cure the love of her life.

I love the bold characters. Feyre is stubborn, fierce, brave, and determine but also has a soft side to her soul. Tamlin is very mysterious but romantic, you can never really read what he is thinking and whatever he does is sort of unexpected. Dangerous and protective.

This love story reminds me of beauty and the beast and I've been craving this sort of dangerous love in a book for a long time. If you have not read this book, you probably should get started because it's amazing.
