Hero at the Fall
Hero at the Fall | Alwyn Hamilton
The breathless finale to the New York Times bestselling Rebel of the Sands series will have you on the edge of your seat until the dust from the final battle clears! 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.

I woke from a sleep filled with nightmares to the sound of my name.
I was already reaching for a gun when I recognized Sara‘s face above me, swimming in and out of focus as my eyes blurred with exhaustion.

The second book is still my favorite from this trilogy, but this one succeeded in wrapping up all of the plot lines from the series. I especially like that this series doesn‘t shy away from killing off important characters, but it never feels like shock value.

Enjoyable but mediocre end to the trilogy.

Wrapped up all the loose ends and I felt satisfied with the ending.

I never felt particularly enamoured or connected to the main love story or interest but it was a decent enough story to keep me interested til the end.

Predictable, but enjoyable.

A solid ending to the trilogy but also my least favorite. I missed the fire of the first two.

Third and final book of the Rebel of the Sand. Djinni magic and the rebellion making its final stand. It was a good conclusion to the series and wraps up the different character stories. Some hand waving and plot hole jumping but still fun.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Hamilton has created such a deep, full world here, plus told a super fun, super engaging adventure story! She is able to weave folklore & legend with battles and magic, and it makes everything feel very real even while being nothing like the real world at all. I‘m so glad I read these - what a great ride! Can‘t wait to read more from her in the future!

I thoroughly enjoyed that ending! I must admit, I wasn't quite expecting things to turn out the way they did, but in a good way. What I appreciated a lot throughout this trilogy was that the romance did not overtake the plot, nor drove it fully. It really was about rebels trying to make a difference. I would have liked a little bit more after story/spotlight on Rahim and Delila, because they weren't very present. But overall a great read!

The final book in the trilogy, The Blue Eyed Bandit is now leading the revolution on a rescue mission as the rebel prince was captured. Ending does not disappoint.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

Sweet Jesus this book was heart-wrenching. From numerous plot twists and unexpected deaths, this book held my attention and then some. There are certain parts/events that I‘m not a fan of happening, and don‘t even get me started about poor Sam. However, this is mostly forgiven due to the gorgeous and well-written ending. Overall, Hamilton did well with this series, and I am glad to have these books on my shelves.

This third book was amazing! I was dying to know what happened to Ahmed and the rest and woooow. And helloooo, Amani????? She's just amazing, a powerful, smart and incredible woman 😎. I love how Alwyn Hamilton manages to surprise me every time. In fact, I couldn't imagine how the story was going to end in any moment, so I can say this was the perfect book to begin the year. I just want more books, and I need to read the tales from sand and sea 😭

What truly sealed this book and series as one of my favorites was the relationships that were built between the characters. Every relationship was meaningful and everyone mattered. I loved how deeply Amani cared for all her friends and how they in turned cared about each other. I can‘t even start with how much I loved Amani and Jin‘s relationship, that was truly one of the most beautiful relationships! Full review at www.thegenreminx.com

I'm happy with how Amani, Jin and the rest of the crews adventure ended(this is the final book in the trilogy). There was definitely some sad parts but I enjoyed the ending.

Maybe it's because I didn't get enough sleep last night (travel complications and delays, ugh) but this end of series was a super #emotionalread. The first two may have been better all around stories, but I loved the drama and originality of these books and where Hamilton took them. Heartily recommend the whole series 💕 #readingresolutions

A great ending to a series. Be prepared for the author to break your heart a few times!! The storyline felt slow to me some, but I may have just been savoring this world! The ending was great, for this book as well as the series. Definitely worth reading. 👏 to the author for a beautiful trilogy. I loved this Middle Eastern, magical, gunslinging, western! ❤️ #thebookkeepers #bookreview #yafiction #fantasy

It‘s over 😭. Oh but it was beautiful!! Even the times where the author ripped my heart out only to return it in parts and greatly bruised. This is the end of The Rebel of the Sands trilogy & it was epically done. Highly recommend the series. Often described as Arabian nights + Wild West. Action packed, love, in depth secondary characters, magic, heartbreak, mystery, surprise, and more. If you haven‘t read this series, go do it ❤️

Hala dead?! No!!! I had such great vengeance hoped for her! & she died saving a no body character? So lame. I'm 119 pages in & so far feeling very frustrated with the storyline....... Still holding hope that it gets better.

VelvetSpade Did you stick it out to the end? I‘m about halfway & I keep putting it down for other books... slow moving. But it‘s due back to the library in 2 days so I‘ve got to power through if I want to finish.... 7y

When I read the first book I did not think I would enjoy the series as much as I did. It had some YA sterotypes, but not many and they worked well with the story, and there was no love triangle!
It was a very enjoyable read. Plus: there seem to be a lot of ducks im the desert 😂
