At least those who remain uninfected Conflicted by duty and tempted by forbidden love Princess Adira longs to break the stifling cruel traditions and be than simply her title But two weeks out from the annual games a brutal arena battle in which prisoners fight for their lives disaster strikes and Adira is sent hurtling down a path she would have never thought possible Will the ensuing chaos push Adira closer to her goals of healing Nedrath Or will she be forced to become the thing she hates most A cold hearted ruler With infected lurking outside the towering wall and corruption infiltrating the very halls Adira roams loyalties will be tested hearts will be broken and rebellion will begin A Game of Rebellion ARC review A Game of Rebellion is a wonderful read with an overall thrilling and well considered plot The characters were absolutely amazing both main and secondary Everyone seemed so unique and a lot of time was clearly spent on planning out the future of every single character and in building their backstory up I also love the subtle ways these backstories were constructed to explain the behaviours of some characters when they were sometimes questionable The actions of characters and their reactions to certain events certainly seemed plausible which I very much appreciated. The story and main concepts reminded me of so many of my favourite books but it also stayed unique and had its own little quirks that made it stand out There was a clear direction sustained throughout the book that made it engaging and kept my attention The drama was held and controlled and there was also enough tension that kept the stakes raised The pace of the story was nice and in all had a very nice flow to it though there were some parts like the beginning few chapters where things were just that slightest bit too slow and it kind of took a little to warm up to the story I do wish we had dived right into the action straightaway but overall the story does work as it is and is certainly not a reason to not read the book for I do think at some points that the spicier scenes seemed a little forced or just awkwardly paced like too many were tried to fit in The scenes are written brilliantly and I can t fault them at all there they are actually some of my favourite spicy scenes I have read before but they did seem to be for the spice and less for the emotional connection at times which in the thick of the action just made me feel a little unsettled with them One thing I do have to say is that the editing of the book had quite a few mistakes and many sentences did not follow basic sentence structure rules It still worked fine but it did make it a little hard to get really invested in the book at stages Overall this book is a nice read It reminded me that I don t read very many fantasy standalones but convinced me to definitely do so in the future I think this book will be enjoyed by many and is certainly worth taking a chance on I would be interested in reading works by this author in the future as I believe they have great potential They have clear story telling abilities and a creative imagination that they know how to wield A Game of Rebellion I was so lucky to receive this book as an ARC I loved everything about it from the characters to the action to the romance The characters within this book you grow to love By the end of the book I felt like I knew all of them in real life and had a second family The romance was so amazing in this book Our male main character Kane is a I will kill anyone who touches you and I will burn the world down for you type of character which I absolutely love He cares so much for Adira and it makes their romance so cute to read There are a few spicy scenes within the book but they do not take up a large amount of the book If you are looking for an action packed book that will have your heart racing with a swoon worthy romance this is your book I will definitely be looking for of this authors work in the future I HIGHLY recommend getting a copy once it is released A Game of Rebellion I was lucky enough

Site_link post a commentFor over two hundred years the high walls of Nedrath have stood strong housing what could be the last twelve thousand human beings, The world building was done really well Both the world and characters were interesting and well written. The pacing of the book was good there was always something happening but things weren t moving too fast I really enjoyed the book. THE PLOT TWIST Excuses me Challis but we need some words and I need some therapy, I ve said this once and I ll say it again watch this space
