Io lo sapevo che la Hamilton mi avrebbe fatto versare fiumi di lacrime!!!
Cosa non è questo romanzo! L'ho divorato in un paio di giorni, è stato assolutamente all'altezza delle mie aspettative e dei romanzi precedenti, tutti veramente splendidi! DOVETE leggere questa trilogia! Purtroppo non se ne è parlato moltissimo ma secondo me è davvero un gioiellino.
L'autrice è geniale e crudele, molto crudele, ed anche questo ultimo volume coinvolge dalla prima pagina all'ultima, è ricco di colpi di scena e MORTE! L'autrice non ha infatti risparmiato noi lettori da infarti, ansia e angoscia e diversi personaggi, come temevo, non fanno esattamente una bella fine...non aggiungo altro, ho già detto troppo!
Anche questo volume è ricco di leggende sui demoni del deserto che personalmente mi affascinano sempre veramente tanto e che rendono la storia ancora più originale.
Non mi capita quasi mai quando leggo delle trilogie ma devo ammettere che questa volta mi è dispiaciuto veramente tanto sapere che non ci sarà un seguito, l'avventura si conclude ma avrei tanto voluto leggere ancora dei protagonisti e tornare di nuovo nel fantastico mondo creato dall'autrice.
I personaggi, chi più chi meno, hanno tutti avuto una loro evoluzione dal primo volume e questa dura lotta al potere li ha molto cambiati. Li ritroviamo a fine storia cresciuti, più consapevoli dei loro limiti e dei loro punti di forza ed ancora più uniti. Una grande famiglia che ne ha passate tante ma che, nonostante tutto, lotta e combatte per chi gli sta affianco.
Come accennavo prima, non mancheranno anche moltissimi colpi di scena, quasi tutti imprevedibili e davvero ben pensati, penso che questo sia uno dei punti di forza maggiori dell'autrice che combinati con una splendida scrittura sono il connubio perfetto per mantenere sempre vivo nel lettore l'interesse a voler proseguire con la lettura, senza mai riuscire a posare il libro.
Sarò ripetitiva ma date una possibilità a questa trilogia, merita davvero.

What a great ending to a beautiful series. I loved this so much!! I definitely shed a few tears at a few certain parts, but what is a story of war without death? I loved being able to see the characters I have come to love change and mature through out this book. Looking back on who they were in the first book to what they are like in this final book...the transformation is just amazing. I absolutely loved the little "stories" thrown in as well. I really enjoyed how you learned more about a character or how they told about what another character was doing. It really helped add to the story line. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this series and am so sad but happy at the same time to see it end!
A very captivating and thrilling end to the Rebel of the Sands trilogy. This series got a little better with every book, and I'm sad to say goodbye to a great story and some wonderful characters.
oh my god. this book!!!! throughout reading this i got a bit bored in the middle. i was just slightly disappointed with the stuff that was happening. like i wished that shira's son was in it a bit more. and i wished that izz and maz were more developed as characters. i felt like they were just there to cart around the others and didn't really have stories of their own. idk. i was also so disappointed that hala died. she was one of my favourite characters!!! but i do understand that by killing some of the main characters like imin and hala it made the war more real and more heart breaking. i think it was good for the story ultimately in the end but i was really angry that it happened. i just felt like hala was just an amazing character and that she didn't deserve to die. i loved her relationship with amani. like even though they hated each other at the start and even though at the end they still had some dislike for each other they respected the other one and they loved them. it was so heartbreaking. but i really respected hala in the way she chose to die. she didn't want to become a slave to the sultan. she didn't want to be a pawn for him. and i really respect amani as well for keeping her promise to hala, that she wouldn't let hala be captured. it just broke my heart so much. and sam!!! oh my god sam. i dont know how i feel about this yet. im just so heart broken. i felt like i didnt really absorb his death that much in while reading the book. idk. im just so disappointed that sam and shazad didn't get to have their life together. it would've been so good if he could have survived. but oh my god what really saved this book for me was the ending!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!! i absolutely love what happened with amani and jin. like while reading this book it was always leading up to the thought that amani wouldn't survive the end. she wouldn't live to the end of the book. and zahir kept giving her outs so that she could live. and every time he did that i was kind of annoyed like i wanted her to die at the end but i also knew she had to live??? like i wanted her to go in expecting to die. i wanted her to destroy the machine and fully expect to die. and thats what happened!!! i love it!!!!. but the djinni saved her!!! i love it so much. but oh my god also the punishment that the djinni gave her. it was so heartbreaking and i knew who she would choose. i loved it so much. and i knew when amani and jin had their night together and said those words i knew what had happened. and i loved the magic of it, the poetry of it. two poeple in love ready to die with each other. it was so good, i was crying so much rip. and that moment amani had with her father!!???!!!!?? it was so beautiful and good and perfect!! i loved it so much. oh and also when amani made the ship sail on sand!!!!! that was absolutely amazing. amani is such a bamf!!!! but really the ending of this book saved it for me.
I couldn't read this series fast enough. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the world building, the desert as a character, and magic that filled this world. About half-way through I thought, "there's no way this isn't going to hurt really bad." Loved every word on every page.
This was a scattered conclusion. Consistent with the rest of the series, Hamilton excels at driving the plot forward. There's always action at every turn and interesting plot twists to be had. However, Hamilton continues to fail her characters. The main protagonist, Amani, is the most heavily developed and even she is wishy-washy at best with her motivations. The central plot of the series is a rebellion, to replace the "cruel" Sultan with the Rebel Prince, Ahmed. But at the end of it, I still felt like I didn't know either the Sultan or Ahmed enough to root for one over the other. Though I wouldn't consider the Sultan "good" by any means, I'm not sure I'd trust a 19-year-old exiled rebel prince with no experience ruling a country to take over either. By the end of the series, I'm still not sure what Ahmed's goals as Sultan were - and I'm not sure Ahmed knew either. All in all, this series had an interesting world, unique mythology, and relentless action. But its characters and its plot are nothing to be remembered.
I’ve been dreading reading this book because I didn't want to see the end of Amani and the Rebellion, but it was a great conclusion to a great trilogy.
Hero at the Fall begins right where the last book ended. Legit only like a few hours pass, but everything is still so heavy because of the events of Traitor to the Throne. Amani has to step up and be the leader of what’s left of the Rebellion and be more than the girl who’s from a dead end town. I honestly felt like her cheerleader, cheering her on while she fought her inner demons and rose as a strong female leader.
Also Amani being stressed all the fucking time is me during finals week when I choose to read instead of study.
Jin is legit the best boyfriend/love interest/sidekick/foreign prince ever. He and Amani fight and have their differences, but he’s always by her side in the end. He’s unconditionally supportive and loyal towards his family and her. I also loved how protective they are of each other and they're just so freaking cuteeee.
They also have a lot of sexual tension in this book, and honestly I could do without it. I don’t think it added much to the story knowing that they wanted to bang but couldn’t because there’s a huge impending war that’s looming over their heads.
ALSO SO MANY DEATHS JESUS. It’s not that surprising, but it’s still so sad to see the people that I grew fond of having to die. Lot of tears were shed while reading this book.
I'm so sad this series has come to end, but I enjoyed reading it so much. Rebel of the Sands as a whole is filled with strong women, magic, and lots of sand, and I absolutely fucking loved it.
And I think that the dust that was me will spend until the end of time trying to get as close as possible to the dust that was you out in that vast desert.

Who did I think I was? I was a Djinn’s daughter. I was a rebel. I was an advisor to a prince. I had faced down soldiers and Nightmares and Skinwalkers. I had fought and survived.

This isn't our last night. You and I, we’re going to get tomorrow, and the next night, and a thousand nights after that. For now, it can be enough that I am yours.
