“You will cheer for Amani the whole way as she escapes the bonds of oppression and finds her own power, and you will mark your calendar for the sequel.”—Rae Carson, bestselling author of the Fire & Thorns trilogy

Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mythical beasts still roam the wild and remote areas, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinn still perform their magic. For humans, it’s an unforgiving place, especially if you’re poor, orphaned, or female.

Amani Al’Hiza is all three. She’s a gifted gunslinger with perfect aim, but she can’t shoot her way out of Dustwalk, the back-country town where she’s destined to wind up wed or dead.

Then she meets Jin, a rakish foreigner, in a shooting contest, and sees him as the perfect escape route. But though she’s spent years dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she’d gallop away on mythical horse—or that it would take a foreign fugitive to show her the heart of the desert she thought she knew.

Rebel of the Sands reveals what happens when a dream deferred explodes—in the fires of rebellion, of romantic passion, and the all-consuming inferno of a girl finally, at long last, embracing her power.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

I liked this YA fantasy set in a desert country

By Sandy Kay VINE VOICE on December 22, 2015

Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )

This YA book is set in a world that is a combination of "historical" Middle East and something out of Aladdin. Girls have limited rights and life is difficult for those who life in small desert communities in an era with trains but where guns have more recently replaced swords for warfare. At the same time, Djinni (from which we get the term genie) and other magical creatures still exist in and out of the stories people tell. I thought the setting, with the blend of realism and fantasy, worked really well.

I also liked Amani as a main character. She is the almost stereotypical plucky heroine with sharp-shooting skills, but I liked her. She meets up with Jin, the obligatory mysterious foreign boy, at a shooting contest she needs to win to get the money to leave her dead end town. At first it seems as if this book will go down a path that is getting trite, but the author has some surprises up her sleeve. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't tell you what happens.

Although there is no indication of this book being part of a series, the ending is somewhat abrupt so I would not be surprised to see another book about Amani and Jin.

Rebel of the Sands

By Melissa A. Palmer VINE VOICE on December 16, 2015

Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )

Book #143 Read in 2015
Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton

This was a good young adult/adult fantasy read. Amani is a feisty young lady who recently lost her mother. Her aunt does not like her, her uncle is debating marrying her and her cousin is jealous of her. Amani needs to get away from that house and when a mysterious foreigner, Jin, crosses her path she sees a way to do so. But the way will not be easy, fraught with war, danger and magic. Good characters and excellent writing made this a read that was hard to put down. I highly enjoyed it and think high school students and adult readers would enjoy it. I am wondering if there will be a sequel....I received a copy of this book from Amazon Vine in exchange for a honest review.

Unbelievable creative!

By Bookworm VINE VOICE on December 22, 2015

Format: Hardcover Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )

2016 is going to be the year of the fantasy novels and Rebel of the Sands will be leading the charge! This book is beyond amazing and just everything I love in my fantasy novels! From the characters to the truly incredible world building it just really doesn't get any better than this. Plus you throw in some downright unbelievably creative mythology and well I'm just a fan for life of this author. She knew when to even add the romance! I'm not a romance fan, but man this book had some pretty awesome romancy scenes between certain character and I found myself sighing with love right along with them. That takes talent for an author to make me do that! I can't wait for the next installment!
