"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.

"Honestly, I always used to think that people were just exaggerating the phrase "couldn't put the book down" but when reading this book, I realized it was very much possible! One of the best books I've read, and the series just keeps getting better!"

"I absolutely adored this book. Everything about it was soooo good! I loved the characters, the world building was amazing, the story was really good, there was no boring part and (and this is not something you hear from me often) the romance part was really good, the two MC completed each other so well and they had a nice chemistry going on. I loved this book so much!"

"Fun read. A couple of things irked me, so I docked a star. I didn't find it slow going or dull, but I'm not a connoisseur of the genre, so I haven't had the same exposure as some of the other reviewers.<br/><br/><spoiler>If Hala can make people see what she wants them to see, and she can sustain the illusion for a while, why not simply make the enemy soldiers turn on each other? If Izz and Maz can turn into any creature, why not a massive and indestructible one that could stomp the enemy?</spoiler>"

"I seriously couldn't put this series down. It was one of those I binged through in about two months. "
Kaitlynn Judd
"I liked this more than I thought I would. It was like Arabian Nights meets Fae fantasy.<br/>The style of writing sometimes made it difficult to follow and the MC wasn't always likable. But the last third of this was great."
