A review by anisa_akeya
Rebel Genius by Michael Dante DiMartino

Holy shit! Ok first things first, I was very excited to read this book, Avatar the last Airbender and the Legend of Korra were both my Jams! However... once I started reading the book I was slightly confused, there was a lot to absorb, like there usually is in the first books of a fantasy series, and I found myself having to go back to the first few chapters to refresh my memory on all of the details that I couldn't keep track of. I can look past the headache of starting a new series because this one was a Thrilling adventure! You had fierce battle, monsters, magic, a few rebellious prodigies lead by a scrappy protagonist taking on an impossible task, and not to mention enough twists and surprises to leave you gaping at the pages. I got a lot more than what I expected from a middle grade book, but exactly what I expected from the creator of one of my favorite animated series of all time.
