Book
Hero at the fall / Alwyn Hamilton.
When gunslinging Amani Al'Hiza escaped her dead-end town, she never imagined she'd join a revolution, let alone lead one. But after the bloodthirsty Sultan of Miraji imprisoned the Rebel Prince Ahmed in the mythical city of Eremot, she doesn't have a choice. Armed with only her revolver, her wits, and her untameable Demdji powers, Amani must rally her skeleton crew of rebels for a rescue mission through the unforgiving desert to a place that, according to maps, doesn't exist. As she watches those she loves most lay their lives on the line against ghouls and enemy soldiers, Amani questions whether she can be the leader they need or if she is leading them all to their deaths.

With the city under siege, half the rebels imprisoned, and Prince Ahmed believed dead, Amani is forced to take charge of the skeleton-crew rebellion in this heart-pounding conclusion to the Rebel of the Sands trilogy. Amani must play a game of cat and mouse with cautious alliances and negotiations with the Djinn to see the rebellion come back together and ultimately decide if she can sacrifice herself to save her country. After tricky negotiations with a legendary Djinni, Amani has the power to save one person, but can she choose between the rebel prince or her beloved Jin? Hamilton is a master of twists and unexpected surprises, and she again delivers shocking alliances, reappearances of characters long thought gone, and deadly choices. With intricate world building, breathless pacing, strong females, and a heart-stopping romance, this series is perfect for readers wanting a rich fantasy to fill the void between Sarah J. Maas and Renée Ahdieh. Copyright 2018 Booklist Reviews. - Horn Book Guide Reviews : Horn Book Guide Reviews 2019 Spring
In this third book, half-magic Demdji Amani and the rebels fight to end the Sultan's brutal rule. But first they must save the banished Rebel Prince Ahmed from a mythical city. While there's a huge cast of characters and a multilayered story to follow, the gratifying conclusion to this magical fantasy, with its Middle Eastern lore and steampunk machines, should appeal to series fans.

Amani Al'Hiza and her allies against the Sultan of Miraji are in a crisis as this third volume of the Rebel of the Sands series picks up. Their leader, the Sultan's son, Ahmed, the Rebel Prince, has been imprisoned and now is presumed dead. Amani and the rebels kidnap the Sultan's manipulative daughter, Leyla, seeking a way to free Ahmed, but the Sultan announces he will kill one girl each day his daughter is not returnedâand the rebels cannot move quickly enough to rescue his victims. As they forge uneasy alliances with djinn, dying rulers, and crafty con men, Amani is given a gift to save any life she chooses. Will she choose to rescue the benevolent Rebel Prince, or Jin, his brother, whom she loves so passionately? Readers need not have read the previous novels, Rebel of the Sand or Traitor to the Throne, to be fully engaged in Amani's final adventure, a healthy puree of Star Wars and Game of Thrones. Hamilton writes well enough that newcomers can easily get the gist. The characters and writing are so strong that readers will likely be tempted to go back to the beginning for full effect. Amani is a razorsharp hero, her enemies ruthless, her friends equally cunning. The stakes are real and high (word of advice: do not get attached to some of the characters). It is a thrilling whirlwind of a dust storm tinged with magic and legends; fantasy fans will be happy to be swept along.âMatthew Weaver. 4Q 4P J S Copyright 2018 Voya Reviews.
