The world is highly controlled by men and polygamy seems to be the order of the day. Trains, guns, and other technology you are aware of the existence and so does ghouls, magic, and Djinni. In most cases, Desert setting are nothing in new young adults but this desert fantasy Alwyn Hamilton has created is superb and a little different. The world building in this debut novel is brilliantly done. Every single chapter of the Rebel of the Sands ends with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting to read more and more. Additionally, she is very good with a gun- a sharpshooter. She is smart-mouthed, has an attitude but above all she is strong, determined and compassionate. In this competition, Amani meets a strange foreigner who offers her a perfect opportunity to leave town finally, but Amani has no idea that her world is about to change forever.Īmani is not your average girl she is very tough, feisty badass. Firstly her uncle wants to marry Amani off so that he can no longer take care of her and secondly he wants to marry her himself.ĭustwalk is clearly a dead end town for her or any girl, and it makes sense that she would rather perish trying to leave town than stay and be married to her own blood. However, her mother perished almost over a year ago forcing Amani to live with her uncle and aunt- but they are awful and treat her badly. The place was rumored to be somewhere where a girl like Amani would have her freedom and finally make her choices. She needs to win this competition so that she could have the money to escape her hometown, Dustwalk and navigate her way all to Izman, a place where her mother always told good stories about. The story kicks off with a shooting competition where we have introduced Amani a girl disguised as a boy. Rebel of the Sands is the debut novel in Rebel of the Sands series by Alwyn Hamilton.
