I've said it, and I'll say it again: Alwyn Hamiltons Rebel of the Sands trilogy is thrilling and fresh!

I loved this book!! It was so suspenseful, so heart breaking and fantastic all at once! If you thought you knew the Blue Eyed Bandit, the girl from Dustwalk, you were wrong!
Million stars!!!! I'd like to have blue hair and my own Jin, thanks!

"I sobbed. For all the dead. For all the losses. For the things that had been taken away. It was seared into my mind forever. The blade. The blood. The eyes."
Starting off just a few months after Rebel of the Sands with the war in the dessert still going on with no end in site. Amani has changed quite a bit from the first book. Now she isn't so reckless and instead has learned with the other rebels; and truly become one of them. She has also gone from only using her gun-sling as a way to fight, to learning how to control her power and use it when needed.
Things end up going very wrong though after a mission that brought back people who had been held captive. Not is Amani in danger, but now so is the rest of the rebellion, or so she thinks. When in all actuality she is the one they want.
This starts a whole new world, that I never thought we would get to see. Meeting the Sultan and his others sons Albish and Rahim. One is good and the other needs some help.
"If the world were simple, we could be free of foreign powers, an independent nation. But we are country with borders, with friends and enemies at all of them."
We also get to meet several other new characters and get surprised with others as well. Amani's experience with the Sultan and his sons was one that I really enjoyed. It showed another part of this world and really put other things in to perspective. Still like the rebellion part of it far more though.
Overall I really really loved this book and series. Getting to see what the Sultan thought of the rebellion and also meeting his sons was so nice to read. His son's... where to start, Rahim is my favorite out of the two new ones and honestly I could have done without Albish, but it was nice to dislike someone besides the Sultan.
As for Amani's relationship with Jin is still fun to read, but I do wish they actually had time to talk about things, instead of just hugging and then everything being all good again.
This book still has the same fast pace of the first one, and if possible I think it might even be a faster read. I have grown attached to the characters in this series and I want to know how the continue on after what happens at the end of this book.
No middle book syndrome happened and now I can't wait for the third one. I need it soon please!!!!

I really liked this, just about as much as book one, but I was not prepared for the emotionally devastating ending. I knew it was book two in a trilogy which meant a likely cliffhanger, Empire Strikes Back-esque ending, but I wasn't ready for this. And now the long wait until book three...

Yawn... I thought the first book was okay so I gave the second a chance. This one wasn't much better so I think this is the end of the series for me. The djinni and sultan and this ongoing rebellion just didn't catch my interest. It's basically following the YA fantasy formula, which is boring to me.

Het houdt niet op, gelukkig niet. Rebel in de woestijn was al goed, ik was al onder de indruk. Maar verrader is gewoon nóg beter. Amani groeit, de rebellen groeien mee. Het verhaal word zo ongeveer 10 keer spannender, mensen van wie je verwacht dat ze dood zijn, zijn dat niet.
Binnenkort een langere review, nu eerst ff lekker nagenieten

In the sequel to Rebel of the Sands, Amani is taken prisoner. During her captivity she learns more about what it means to be a leader of a country and of a rebellion. This book is not as fast paced as it’s predecessor, but I liked the aspect of Amani questioning leadership roles.
