Rebel Spring by Morgan Rhodes

5.0

As usual the cover was gorgeous <3 *insert thousand claps here with matching sound effects*

"But even the coldest hate can shift into something warmer if given enough time, just as an ugly caterpillar can turn into a beautiful butterfly."

There were so many deaths and there was a particular death that I am extremely happy it happened. I ended the first book with Cleo being my favorite character but now I'm not so sure anymore. She's the very definition of a princess, fragile, pretty and cowardly. She could have tried many things and see what will happen but she didn't! It frustrates the hell out of me. I still like Cleo but I am hoping to see her development as a character soon enough and while Lucia is also one of the main characters in this book I find it hard in me to find a connection with her, I found myself glad that she's becoming the villain in this book but the ending came so I wasn't sure if she'll still be one.


My current favorite now is Jonas and Magnus, the two doesn't go along pretty well but I like them and the fact they could possibly be infatuated with Cleo makes me so happy because I ship JoLeo and LeoNus (I suck at giving a pair name) I would gladly accept who Cleo would end up between the two of them. Jonas is the handsome rebel leader that I find really attractive coz he's sassy *squeals* and Magnus is the ice prince who looks heartless and cold on the outside but a really understanding person on the inside and that fact that Cleo couldn't see that makes me wanna hit her so bad she'll see the Kraeshan Empire.


It's finally taking shape, the main characters were starting to form a strange camaraderie with each other and I am so intrigued on what will happen next because this book was so unpredictable and I do certainly hope that Magnus, Jonas and Cleo will manage to stay alive at the end of the series. The King of Blood's greed will be his undoing and that was a certain fact.

The Rebel Spring is one of the coolest sequel that was ever made, I'm really satisfied on how the story flowed, weak characters were eliminated and even though there are some deaths just like
SpoilerPhaedra's death
that wasn't so appealing to me because she could have help the rebel's cause much better, I still do think that it was sacrifice that was meant to be made.


I love these book series and I do hope they'll release the Fifth book real quick because I will savour and finish these book for like a week considering that there are currently only four books.

5 stars :)
