Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
Last year I read this book for the first time. I read the hardcover edition (on the left), which I thought was beautiful. I loved the cover already, then this year they changed it and I am obsessed with the new cover (on the right.) So, I of course had to run out and buy the new paperback. It has to match the second book right?
(I love the book 2 cover as well. The online pic doesn't do it justice. Go check it out in RL!)
Okay, let's talk reading experience now. I didn't really remember this read from last year. Nothing really stuck out in my mind about it. I'm pretty sure I had completely forgotten I had even read it. Until I discovered Traitor to the Throne this year. Last year I gave it just 3 stars on Goodreads.
I had to re-read this because I knew I was missing some major stuff from it in my memory. I remembered the small details, pretty much what is already in the blurb. I knew other little things, like there was a set of twins, but I couldn't remember any details about them. I actually thought one died.
Reading this book the second time was so much more enjoyable then I remember the first time around. I gave it a 4 out of 5 stars this time. I'm really not sure if reading this again was necessary. At the bottom of the blurb for book 2 it says something about, "Forget everything you thought you knew..." Oh well, the re-read was worth it!
If you have read this one let me know what you think! I am really hoping to get to Traitor of the Throne soon!
Thanks for reading!
