It’s clear this book was written for the younger side of the young adult audience, and after a few chapters, i feared i wouldn’t like it due to the added complexity i usually get from adult fantasy. 

but i was pleasantly surprised. Rebel Skies feels like a long car ride with the wind in your hair, with the added fantasy of violent paper spirits who can talk. 

I wasn’t sure about our MC Kurara at first—she seemed very childish and determined to disobey the people who were trying to help her, but she really grew on me. Her development was lovely to read, and i personally want to thank the author for those short chapters!! 339 pages and 43 chapters!! it was so easy read (coming from someone who gets easily distracted) and if this is the first book in the series, i can’t wait for the sequel to come out :D 

would definitely recommend for getting out of a reading slump or you’re just looking to read something still very-much fantasy but on the simpler side.
