Def would be interested to see how they rebuild cuz it doesn’t seem like all humans are a fan of reboots. Glad she realized she could be emotional and strong. But it felt like too many plots at the same time

"I started laughing, a hysterical laugh that got louder as the panic began to fully set in."
I remember enjoying the first book in series Reboot, alot more than this sequel. I started reading excited to see how Wren and Callum continued through the many obstacles, that laid before them. The new characters and situations that were addressed, was exciting at first. However after a strong start, the book throws new elements in that aren't explained or explored well enough. The lack of depth in the descriptions of the new elements to the story, and surface characters left me underwhelmed.
The book isn't all bad, and never wanted to abandon the book all together while reading. The story has a lot of action, most of the book is action scenes and dialogue. Ms. Tintera's ability to throw in humor among the chaos of the book, comes off as genuine and was well received. The romance was believable, and sweet. Dealing with the morality involved in killing or saving humans once you become a Reboot continued to be interesting. But there wasn't enough for me to latch on and really care about the characters.
The flow and structure of the book, seemed to be the most problematic part of reading it. Everything happens too quickly and usually works out extremely well. There was action that was hard to understand, because it was explained too fast. The changing point of views also distracted me at times, because I would have to remember from who's point of view I was reading. I think it would have worked better of the changing point of views were of people not together most of the book. The ending tied things up nicely, but there wasn't enough conflict involved to make it believable. Read if you want to know how the series ends, otherwise it's not really worth it.

What I Thought: Rebel is the sequel and final book in the Reboot duology. Wren and Callum has escaped with a hundred other Reboots and are headed to the Reservation, where they hope to continue their lives in peace. However the Reservation is not as they expect, and their leader Micah has plans even more devious than they realise. Wren and Callum get locked in a struggle, with reboot against human, reboot against reboot and human against human in the mission to shut HARC down for good.
I really loved Reboot, and Rebel was no different. Wren's actions and Callum's humanity kept me glued to the pages, wondering how they were going to solve each and every obstacle they faced. With other old characters back and new characters introduced, Rebel is a whirlwind from start to finish. Just when you think they may just run away and BAM. Not a chance buddy.
Amy Tintera comes back again with powerful writing and moving characters, leaving me wanting so much more. It was well ended, but it honestly left me feeling a bit unsure whether that was truly the end or not.
If you've read Reboot then make sure you grab a copy of Rebel, because you can't afford to miss out! And if you haven't read Reboot, then you best jump on our bandwagon!
The Good: Loved this one as much as the first, with as much action and romance, if not even more!
The Bad: While the story end was well written, I would love to have another book. It feels like the story ended too quickly!

Pretty good ending to a duology that I really enjoyed. There was tons of action and tension throughout, as well as a lot of ideas that unveiled near the end. I wish the book were longer! The story itself was really, really good, wherein our heroes meet a group of Reboots who have established their own community... and have other sinister motives. I kind of wish we had stayed with them longer, because their group was pretty twisted and it would have been neat to explore more of what it would be like for these different Reboot factions to interact with each other. I also thought that some of the ending was a little too rushed and the plot holes, while mostly closed, were pretty convenient. But that's my only nitpick, because overall I was very satisfied, and it was great to read more on Callum and Wren's sweet romance and watch them hit moral and emotional roadblocks. I'm going to miss those two, but the very last page was perfectly written. I really enjoyed these books and would recommend them to anyone looking for a unique take on the zombie concept, and who want a nice romance to fill up their summer.

Rebel is the conclusion to the Reboot/Rebel duology and it was FREAKIN AMAZING. I absolutely LOVE Wren, the main character. She so badass, yet very kind...even if she doesn't realize it. Wren and Callum's relationship is so adorable no one can handle all of the feels that this book ignites. The plot of Rebel was very intense and went by very quickly. It did not drag out the battle scenes, which I appreciated. WARNING: Chapter 39 is the most terrifying chapter in a book ever to exist in all of eternity x infinity squared. Seriously. I'm still not over it. The ending will leave you feeling complete and pleased. I wish I could read it for the first time all over again.

I enjoyed this one far more than its prequel, [b:Reboot|13517455|Reboot (Reboot, #1)|Amy Tintera|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1350931774s/13517455.jpg|19075624]. The dual perspective narration was a good choice, as it gave us a deeper look at Callum and made me like him a lot more as a character. In the previous book, he came off as weak and sort of pathetic, but in this one, he became an incredibly caring and emotionally strong character. I loved seeing him step out from behind Wren's shadow and take charge of things. While he may not be as physically powerful as Wren, he still has his own kind of strength. This also equalized the relationship between him and Wren, as I always felt Wren had to constantly take care of him before.
Wren, on the other hand, remained somewhat flat and dull in her narration, although I enjoyed it much more than in the previous book. She has grown since then, and is slowly beginning to find her compassion and humanity. I found her struggle with the central moral dilemma in the book rather irritating, as she waffles for far too long over what to do, although it was understandable, given her life experiences up to that point (and the book really drives home the point that she was essentially brainwashed by HARC). I did like the fact that the moral issue of killing humans was dealt with in this book as it wasn't really addressed at all in the first book.
Rebel was a great read, with an engaging plot and interesting ideas. It really showcased Callum's strong moral convictions and conscience, and I felt he was the real star in this sequel.

Book was severely underdeveloped at best. Chapters were incredibly short, the small fragment of a plot was rushed, and the book simply fizzled in comparison to the first. The chapters didn’t flow, the characters were flat if anything, and it really lacked sufficient description of the events making it difficult to continue reading. Would consider the first book, Reboot, one of my favorites but this sequel was a severe let down in comparison and I dare say a waste of time.
