Hero at the Fall
by Alwyn Hamilton
Actual Rating: 4.25.
I feel like I’m so out of practice when it comes to reviewing books. I’ve had a very slow reading month for February because that just happens sometimes and I’m just now finishing my third book for the month. I will say I have been enjoying books I’m really enjoying so in that aspect I’m having a great reading month.
This book is the final one in the Rebel of the Sands series. I had originally wanted to read the series when the first book came out in 2016. I held back for a while because of book buying bans, but I’m so glad I finally read it. I love Amani and Jin and so many other characters so much. There’s so much focus on characters and character development which I discovered I really enjoy after reading Six of Crows a few years ago. Are any of these characters perfect? Of course not, but even in their mistakes the readers understand the choices they’re making.
I love desert fantasy novels so much and this series was great. The desert was basically a character in its own right. I like that living in the desert has given Amani so much grit and strength. And I love that throughout the series you get to see her hold on to that, but also really explore other sides to herself. The story telling aspect is probably what makes this a standout series for me. You get little stories within a series about their mythology and how the magic works. But you also get to see that sometimes stories don’t tell the truth and that real people can do extraordinary things.
Overall, this is a really well rounded series and I don’t understand why so many people are sleeping on it.
