I struggled with this one a bit because I wasn’t sure how it’d play out. I’m definitely impressed by how the story was woven and painted, how the characters withstood tragedy and loss, how beautiful words can be when written right.
Beautiful book and series!

OHMYGODDDDDDDDD

I literally cried the whole last few chapters. I am an emotional wreck. But in like a good way. It was a beautiful and magical story and though it wasn't always an easy story, it was told right. I am absolutely in love.

Also I keep randomly still crying. Hahaha help.

Un po' sottotono rispetto agli altri due, più strategico che altro, ma una giusta conclusione ad una bellissima serie.

Not my favorite book in the trilogy, but I was satisfied with the wrap up of the series. 

Another book that I started and finished in one day.
What a crazy conclusion!
I definitely feel very bittersweet about it, but overall it was somewhat satisfying.
I do love a good revolution plot line, and that is pretty much what this series is all about. I can't say that this series was perfect overall, but it was definitely a good series to sink my teeth into. I'm looking forward to reading more of Alwyn Hamilton's books in the future :)

All the love for the Rebel of the sands trilogy. I am going to miss all of the characters.

What a great finale of my favorite book series.
Anani as the leader of the rebellion really was able to show her personal growth of making decisions for the wellbeing of others and overcoming her selfishness(which i still enjoyed greatly about her). This asoect felt like a well creafted payoff.
The tensions leading a rebellion in order to save the true king, your lovers brother puts on their romantic relationahip are well explored and maked the ending even more fullfilling.
Both characters flaws feel very real and human.
The politics, political and familial intrigue was  engaging to read about, and felt belieavable.
Also once again I must credit the author for the immersive writing.

the absolutely heart-wrenching ending, where bith amani and jin die leaves me in tears every time eventhough  I know the are brought back. The beautiful writing elisits an emothion regardless. But I must say this is one of the few times i was glad to see the characters be brought back from death.


Honestly this series has many of my alltime favorite quotes that I may start collecting her once reread the trilogy.
