I can't tell which I liked more: Reboot or Rebel. I almost equally enjoyed them to be honest. In this book though...Wren and Callum's constant pda. Oh my. Half of the time, I kept thinking 'Uh huh, we get it, you're straight.' I loved them both as characters and together, but it was kind of irritating.

3.75 stars.
I really really liked this book. However, I didn't think it was a great as the first one. It felt rushed. Even though I love the fast pacing, at some points I was lost. Also, the double POV was confusing too, even though it was stated at the beginning of the chapter who was talking.
I don't know. I was expecting something else. I've enjoyed the book, but I felt kind of meh. Now, I couldn't stop thinking that it would have made a fantastic movie.

when i found out that reboot had a sequel called “rebel” i was immediately intrigued to find out the happenings of callum & wren + the dynamics of the reservation, the possible harmony between races (humans & reboots) etc
in comparison to the first book, i enjoyed that there were ups and downs, disagreements and separation between wren and callum as it only further proved their love for eachother (chapter 39 lives in my head rent free). i love how wren gets emotionally softer with every chapter, slowly being influenced by callum while callum becomes more diplomatic & strategic in the same way as how wren is respected and idolised by reboots.
what i didn’t expect was the twist of micah being a complete dictator even though i kinda see his point in exerting revenge onto another race that was hating on reboots. however, i was disappointed over how there was a lack of dark themes being played in this book such as the possibility of forced rapes as a means to repopulate the reboots (similar to how the reservations would go hunting for more reboots)
overall i actually enjoyed rebel more than reboots and was very content with the ending.

Few authors can write a strong sequel, and even fewer can leave us with a satisfying conclusion. Amy Tintera has mastered both of these arts.
A guide on how to write a good sequel:
✔ Add character development and make us root for these people even more. Make them sympathetic and memorable.
✔ Want to add another PoV? Make sure that the new voice adds something to the book and makes both narrators more dimensional and likable.
Callum’s perspective was refreshing and easy to distinguish from Wren’s.
He is so sweet and admirable. He may not be the strongest or most kick-ass person, but he’s clever, quick and likable. Completely opposite from our heroine, his weakness is that he cares too much and wants to save everyone.
✔ Enter a new cast of characters who are just as important. We have a villain whose motives are surprisingly understandable, a fantastic female friendship and backstories from everyone.
I think Tintera really thought through this, and each and every one of them crucial to the story.
✔ Don’t forget our narrator!
Wren. Freaking. Connelly. I’ve found another heroine to add to my list of favorites.
Wren has developed so much throughout the course of the two books, from a cold and robotic girl who was not more than a dutiful servant to a girl who uses her strength in the right way, and starts getting more emotional and real.
She not only stands up for herself but also for others. She has grown into an incredibly sympathetic character, and I adore her. Not to mention that she can kick butt.
✔ Throw in a solid plot with twists and turns.
✔ Sprinkle the pages with non-stop action. Perhaps the best thing about this is that it’s dangerously addicting. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
Final verdict:
Rebel follows the typical dystopian pattern, but it has stunning characters, solid world-building and explores the meaning of good and bad.
I highly recommend this duology to fans of [b:Legend|9275658|Legend (Legend, #1)|Marie Lu|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1397663963s/9275658.jpg|14157512] and [b:The 5th Wave|16101128|The 5th Wave (The 5th Wave, #1)|Rick Yancey|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1359853842s/16101128.jpg|19187812], or just anyone who wants a good engaging dystopian book.

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.
