A review by mystiereads
Ebon Rebellion by Whitney Hill

5.0

Well, well, well, just when I thought things were going to go a bit smoother for Arden, they AMPED right up!

In my first review of this series, I said to buy all of the available books and clear your time. After this fourth book, I am saying join me in solidarity as I camp out in front of the author's house and wait impatiently for the conclusion of this series!

Sigh...sadly that is impractical, and also probably illegal. But these books, OMG...sometimes you can just read the words and know an author laid her soul bare onto the pages. In book 4, Ms. Hill did exactly that and so much more. Our heroine tackles many difficult changes and realities in this one. Hardest of all may be the way she was manipulated into not being her full self. Ms. Hill pulls these emotions out and walks us through a difficult healing, with the kind of compassion, I wish every one in the whole world was able to receive, whenever we felt broken.

Added to that, the transition of enemies, to working together, to maybe more, with the main male character, is a slow burn journey, where trust is built brick by brick, no insta-anything here at all! And as a reader and a real person, who loves when life collides and expands on pages, I LOVED it!

Arden grows, the people around her gives her the support and space to do so, with one notable exception, but seeing her outgrow him, was delicious.

Ms. Hill has a talent for knitting real life issues with fantasy to broaden horizons and give readers a perspective they may not have thought of before, but they will not be able to deny now. So well fashioned are her words, and this story.

I cannot get enough of this series and I will live in hope that Book 5 drops early lol, and Ms. Hill keeps taking us back to the Otherside!
