Rebel by Marie Lu
3.0
3.5 stars
this read more like a novella than a spin off/full blown novel. didn’t wanna get all critical with this book since i knew right off the bat that this wasn’t gonna top Champion (or any of the other books from the original trilogy tbh),, but here are some of my opinions that nobody asked for. plot wasn’t strong. antagonist was basically a cookie cutter of a villain (i really!!! wanted him to be a morally gray character, but maybe that’s just me). and the world wasn’t as explored as i wanted it to be ???? however, despite all that i still enjoyed reading this book. i love the juneday content we got and also really appreciate the sibling relationship dynamic from day and eden. i think that was a really good way to develop both of their characters. 3.5 stars is a fair rating i think since i didn’t really love the book and don’t think it was necessary at all,, but i love the characters and i love that we got the chance to see them post legend trilogy and i still had a fun time reading this book.
