storysusan 's review for:
Rebel Spring
by Morgan Rhodes
I really, really loved this book. I read it in a few days. There were quite a few surprising plot twists, although you can definitely tell the author is influenced heavily by "Game of Thrones" (Cleo=Sansa Stark, Magnus=a young Jamie Lannister, Aron= Joffery, Gaius=Ramsay, Jonas= Jon Snow, Lucia= Dany, Lysandra= Ayra). LOL. Actually, this series would make a great TV show (not on Freeform though...they cancel EVERYTHING).
The only concern I have at this point is the direction of the ships. It seems like too many people are in love with Cleo and/or Jonas. At first I really liked Theon/Cleo, but he's dead...so now I really love Jonas/Cleo and hope that is the storyline. I detest love triangles and I am definitely not a fan of Magnus/Cleo hooking up for real. He killed Theon among other things!!! Unfortunately, if the author wants it badly enough...she can change the characters so stuff like that doesn't matter (see Klaroline or Reylo). I hope not though! If Magnus doesn't become a full-blown villain, I'd rather see him paired with someone like Lysandra or another character we haven't met yet. Speaking of Lysandra, I'm glad it seems one-sided, but I think it's totally cliche she "loves" Jonas. Give me a break! Also, awesome twist with Nic's character. I think the author realized she couldn't keep him around unless she gave him his one storyline. I am really excited to see where his storyline could go with the other Prince guy. I also love Lucia/Alexius, but I don't think there's going to be a happy ending there.
Please do not give me real spoilers for the rest of the books. Not even a hint! I'm currently waiting for my hold on Book 3 to come through and it's killing me to wait!
