synopsis:
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.

Review:
Before picking up this book I wasn’t a productive reader,like I used to read,but not that much.This trilogy is what changed it all.I feel like it’s super underrated and I haven’t seen many people talk about it ever.This is your sign to go read that book now!
Writing:The writing of this book is so well done.Amani,the main character,is the perfect female character one could ask for.She’s strong,smart and feminine in all the right ways.I could relate to her and root for her through the three books.The world building is really amazing,I felt like I was in a movie not just a book.I truly felt like I was in the desert and wanted to go live there😭😭.
Plot:The story is about Amani, a strong and determined girl living in Dustwalk, a desert town.She wanted freedom and to escape from her current situation.And one day she meets the eastern snake (Jin) who helps her escape this town and start her journey.The story is filled with friendships, rebellion , adventures and self discovery.It’s so so beautiful.
Characters & Romance: I actually adored all the characters in this book,even the annoying ones.Everyone was just perfect for their role and their interactions were so seamless that it felt incredibly real.One of my favorite parts of the trilogy is the cutesy romance between Amani and Jin. Their chemistry is perfect! Watching their relationship form was soo cute and Jin quickly became my first and one of my top fav book boyfriends.
After reading this trilogy I was completely hooked!And wanted to read every other book in the same genre or maybe live in this trilogy and become Amani and forget that I was a real human😭.
What’s the book that made you fall in love with reading?let me know!
Happy reading!
Mariam.
