Rebel Spring by Morgan Rhodes

5.0

5 stars

Oh my god. It's been quite some time since I actually read a sequel of a series that I owned. I know that I just read the Wayward Son, it was my last book of 2020, but if you've read my rewiew you'll know that it dissappointed me. By a lot. And probably the previous sequel that I bought was the fourth book in The Neapolitan novels series in the summer. I should probably start buying more series because all of series that I started this year weren't mine.

I had really high hopes for this book and it didn't dissappoint me. So far it's been my second book of the year and both of them are five stars. With my immediate TBR at the moment, it seems it's going to continue.

I read the Falling Kingdoms in the autumn and I loved it - the world, the characters, the magic, the secrets. And I loved the second book, Rebel Spring, even more. This is the part of the story where everything started really going, it's got action and cliffhangenrs and moments so surprising that I didn't even expect.

I know that not everyone will love the series and I get that. But it was the perfect one for me. It's not my favourite of all time so far but I could say that it could be in my top 10 ever, if it's not too early to say.

My favourite character is definitely Lucia, I love her but I was a bit unsure when her character took a little darker tone. I'm really interested what's in her for the next books!

I also really like the other characters or I grow to like them more. Magnus, Jonas, Cleo, Lysandra, Alexius. Also the villain, King Gaius, is amazing. I don't really remember reading about a villain I liked so much in the last time. He's definitely interesting and I want to know more. On the other hand, I hate Aron and he got what he deserved.

The finale in this one propably wasn't as epic as in the first book but it was still amazing and I just finished the last one hundred pages in like two sittings. So I recommend it to everyone who's willing to read it and I just want the third book ASAP.
