Seeds of Rebellion by Brandon Mull
Review as seen on ihavetosay.blog
SYNOPSIS
Jason is back home on earth after discovering the truth behind the word that is supposed to take down Maldor. Being home is nice but with all that’s happening in Lyrian- the secret behind the word, Rachel being left behind, and Maldor still ruling- Jason makes his way back to rejoin the fight.
What could possibly happen?
RECAP AND REVIEW
This is the second book in a trilogy, told in the third perspective where we follow Jason and Rachel on their quest to help Lyrian’s citizens defeat Maldor. Unlike the first book, we follow both of their perspectives and their thoughts.
Rachel wants to go home, but manages to be a fast learner of the magic system in Lyrian. She continues to practice and learn more about it throughout the book.
Jason makes it back and runs into people from his past who help him stay on the run from Maldor and reunite with Rachel.
I appreciate that this book was straight to the point in the beginning and got Jason back to Lyrian pretty quickly.
It is necessary to read the first book before this one. Nothing that was explained in the first book gets reexplained and there were times where I couldn’t remember certain details.
I didn’t like this one as much as the first one. I still enjoyed it but because they’re on a quest, the little hiccups in their journey get overcome and seem irrelevant to the bigger picture.
This book is appropriately titled Seed of Rebellion because it is all about setting the foundation for rebelling and achieving the ultimate goal of ending Maldor’s dictatorship.
OVERALL
Overall, I give this book a 3 out of 5 stars. I get why it is necessary for the storyline, so I can’t knock it completely. I’m still interested to see how this all ends and will be reading the last one.
