Rebel by Amy Tintera
5.0
From the end of Reboot, we were left with Wren and Callum leading all the Reboots from their facility into the Reboot reservation and that's where Rebel picks up from.
This book sort of had a 'Hunger Games' feel to it, which I liked. Wren reminded me a lot of Katniss in the way that Wren was seen as this sort of symbol of power, the Reboots saw Wren as 178, which is her number and one of the highest ever so most people see Wren as this power machine. It's also similar in the way that Micah, the leader of the Reboot reservation, wants to use Wren because of her number, and that's all he sees Wren as.
Wren of course, may come across as selfish when she declines in helping the humans from Micah and his Reboot army but I couldn't help but understand why she did that. She spent all her years in HARC, obeying orders and being this power machine because of her number, but she's finally got the chance to be free and to be her own person, away from her number. And she's fighting for her love Callum as well, she wants nothing more than to protect him.
I did read some summaries before I read this book saying that the romance got a bit more steamy, whilst I agree the romance between Wren and Callum continued to blossom, I did expect to read a sex scene between them, because Reboot spoke a lot about sex between Reboots in the HARC facility and the interactions between Wren and Callum led me to believe there would be a sex scene, however we were led up to the moment and then it cut, leaving it to our imaginations. I was a little bit disappointed about that but it still showed the passion between Wren and Callum.
I also thought that Micah's death was a little sudden and I had to re-read it because I was just like "wait..what?'
But still, I absolutely love this duology and very sad that it's over.
