Traitor by choice. Gunslinger Amani al'Hiza fled her dead-end hometown on the back of a mythical horse with the mysterious foreigner Jin, seeking only her own freedom.

Once, in the desert kingdom of Miraji, there was a young prince who wanted his father‘s throne. He had no claim to it but the belief that his father was a weak ruler and that he would be stronger.

pick#2022Book52
I liked this book so much more than the first in the series. We get to know more about the characters and their motivations, and the main character never falls into the damsel-in-distress nonsense like so many other YA fantasy heroines. There was also something at the end that actually made me gasp out loud, and I love when a book can surprise me.
pickI could go on and on about how great the writing and story is, that I love the characters but the truth, I say in 4 words; I AM NOT OKAY. The ending is brutal and it will take me a while to get over. Having said that, next read; Hero at the Fall. The next in the series. Wish me luck! 😅 I give it: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
so-soWrapped this one up last night. As expected it wasn‘t as good as the first one, but that‘s pretty normal. I got bogged down in the middle, but after taking a break, managed to persevere through to the end. It‘s pretty realistic though, because the heroine spends a lot of time wishing things were more simple like they used to be. Welcome to adulthood girly! I‘ll probably start the third one soon. ⭐️⭐️

pickThis installment was pretty tame compared to the first one. I found myself losing interest until about 60% of the way through, where it really picked up and was a lot of fun! All in all, I would say a pretty decent sequel.

pickBook 2 of the Rebel of the Sand novel. I loved the first one because of the interaction between the two main characters, Amani and Jin. This book separates them so it lost that magic for me. Still it was a good romp. Mostly set in the sultan's palace and the treacherous harem. Old characters come back, new characters introduced, and djinnis.
pickSo I read Rebel of The Sands and Hero of The fall these last few days and to be honest at the beginning I didn‘t find it that good but the second one really upped the level with twists and turns ! I love the setting with the Middle Eastern vibe. I grew up with stories of Djinns so it was really fun reading a fantasy in that world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This book was such a fun ride! Hamilton really dug into her world & showed us so many more facets and layers to what she‘s created. The plot was super intriguing & I also really appreciate in this the non-annoying pervasiveness of the love story. It‘s important, but it‘s not The Most Important Thing, and that‘s refreshing for a teen series. I‘m so looking forward to book 3 and how everything will wrap up - and the journey along the way!
pickI found this one much more enjoyable than the first book. There was a lot more intrigue, and I found the new characters, as well as the downplay of the romance aspect refreshing and interesting.
My latest book haul 📚

pickThis is the second book in this awesome YA trilogy with desert setting and Arabic mythology. It reminds me of City of Brass, but imo this is even better. #nightoriented #Booked2019 @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft
The Blue Eyed Bandit is thrust in the middle of a political regime as she's captured and made to live in the sultan's palace among the women (daughters, wives, and concubines). She becomes confused about the sultan's ambitions as she strives to learn more about his political goals and ultimately find a way out. A wonderful inspiration for world building, and an action packed story with magical characters.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)
I liked this book more than its predecessor, “Rebel in the Sands”. I was pulled back into the adventure from the very beginning, and let me just say that there are SO MANY plot twists. I‘m definitely going to miss the character that died heroically at the end, and I can‘t wait to see what happens next. The only part I didn‘t enjoy was how Amani forgave Jin way too easily. Anyway, onto “Hero at the Fall”!
pickExcellent! I'm excited to read the conclusion to Amani, Jin and the rest of the crews adventure!
Up next is book 2 🤓
pickThis series got stronger as it progressed. Couldn‘t wait for the third when I finished this one!
pickI loved this second book!!! Amani is such a great and badass main character and she has shown in this book how strong she is. I am glad I finally met the villain of the story and though he's not brilliant, he's a good villain, evil enough 😂 the plot does not have much action but I found it very interesting and I really liked to see the life inside the palace🤔 AND I NEED TO READ HERO AT THE FALL RN! The end of Traitor to the Throne shocked me😂
YAAAASSSS I have the whole trilogy in my hands and I can start Traitor to the Throne 😍
I need to know what happens to Amani after Rebel of the Sands 🙊
pickThe twists, the turns, the pace of this did not let up all the way through the last pages!! I‘m loving this trilogy. ❤️❤️❤️
The cover art on this and the third in the series is gorgeous! I may need to find a hard copy of the first one just for the art. I have the first on kindle.
I just finished #RebeloftheSands and I need this one ASAP!
I walked to the library because I only had one book to pick up. I really should have known better! #libraryloot #bookhaul #cantgetjustone
1. Sam Heughan.
2. Blue.
3. Winter by Marisa Meyer (I listened to the audiobook though). Longest physical read so far is Traitor to the Throne, however after I finish Children of Blood and Bone that will be my longest physical read.
4. Jamie Fraser (Outlander), Rhys (ACOTAR), Aelin (TOG), and Kestrel (Winners Trilogy).
5. Will be looking. 😊

Lots of #duckquotes in this book. Really, this duck is very relevant to the story 😂
pickWhile I had mixed feelings about the first book, the author managed to find her own style. I especially the setting and the absence of a love triangle. A duck got killed, though :(
pickThis book is so much better than the first. There was many times I gasped and I almost screamed at the ending. Very good and I cannot wait for book 3! Alwyn did a great job with not being afraid of killing people off in the book and creating many twists. Rating: 5/5
This is also the first book I finished for the #24in48 #readathon.

pickFound the prettier (to me) cover to screenshot! @Coco I am interested to hear your thoughts! I called the major ending twist before it happened (I think her foreshadowing may have gone a tad overboard) but was surprised by one of the reveals near the end and really enjoyed more time in this world with the characters, although there were some relationship issues that got swept over. Definitely on board to read the next one! #litsyAtoZ letter T
so-soAs w/ most series, Book1 was more favored in my opinion. The meat of this book took me a while to get thru &picked up towards the end. I loved Jin &Amani‘s relationship in Rebel of the Sands, but Traitor to the Throne left me wanting. I will say the ending was a shocker & left me💔! I think the last few chapters were the best of the entire book. Which leaves me hopeful that Book3 will be better. Who else has read this series? Thoughts? #bookreview
Ok I‘m about 150 pages into this one & moving at a steady rate!! Any other fans of this series? Curious to others People‘s review of this book compared to Book 1 (Rebel of the Sands)? I will say I thought book 1s Cover was more beautiful!
Caught some rays with my kiddo today before our cold front comes through this weekend 😍 much needed sun kisses & outdoor reading time!
“I called the desert into a storm.”
My review for Traitor to the Throne is now up on my blog! Link in bio... :-) I really enjoyed this book and the plot twists! I cannot wait for book 3 next year! :-)
Have you read this yet? What did you think? Keep it spoiler free in case others haven‘t read it yet!
pickThrough the book‘s main conflict, Amani realizes that names have the power to trap and destroy, just as they have the power to reinvent and release and reshape. Characters, no matter how seemingly insignificant, come to life with well fleshed-out motivations in the face of war and survival.
