Rebel, by Amy Tintera, is about how Wren and Callum are forced into a series of situations they are grossly ill-equipped for. I’ve read some bad YA fiction (really bad, see this review if you need proof), and this series was nowhere near that! So sorry, haters, but Reboot and Rebel do not belong on the DNF list.
But these are things I’ve come to expect from the genre, particularly when the protagonist is female. Yes, some of the tropes were predictable (again, as YA often is). Yes, there is a lot of kissing and handholding (as I often find there are in such YA books). Not because it’s bad, but because some people are just overly critical. Let me kick things off by saying that this series has a bad rep. Rebel struck a perfect balance between action and pacing. The conclusion was just epic enough in Rebel to keep me turning the pages, but not so much that I was overwhelmed by everything that happened. I am so excited for Amy’s new book, Ruined, which is the start of a new trilogy coming 2016.I have to say it’s been a while since I’ve found a series of books I read as quickly as Amy Tintera’s Reboot series. I love the Wren and Callum relationship, and I think the series ended off pretty strongly. Wren is such a bad you-know-what like really, now, she’d beat Tris in a fight. I love dystopians and it’s hard to find unique ones a lot of the time, but I haven’t read ANYTHING like this series so that made me very happy. I loved the setting again set in the town where I live so that was pretty neat. I am happy to say I enjoyed this ending, but not as much as book 1. I was so excited to jump into book 2, and I had very high expectations for it.
I loved the action, setting, plot and everything else. Reboot was one of my favorite reads two years ago, when I was first discovering YA. The action-packed second and last book in the Reboot duology, Rebel is full of dystopian settings, backstab and romance. She and Callum have different views, and must find a way to stop the humans and the Reservation…before it’s too late.
Very soon, though, the Reboots realize that the Reservation’s ultimate goal is to kill off the humans. When they finally arrive at the fabled Reboot Reservation, they find a whole city full of Reboot escapees led by Micah 163, who is about as powerful or more powerful than Wren. Rebel picks up right where Reboot left off, and Callum and Wren have escaped the Republic of Texas. SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t read Reboot yet, don’t read this review! My review for book 1 can be found HERE.
