Hero at the Fall (Rebel of the Sands, #3)

by Alwyn Hamilton

Highly anticipated conclusion to the epic award-winning Rebel of the Sands trilogy - a genre-busting Wild West meets Arabian Nights fantasy

Once, in the desert country of Miraji, there was a Sultan without an heir.

The heir had been killed by his own brother, the treacherous Rebel Prince, who was consumed by jealousy and sought the throne for himself.

Or so it was said by some. There were others who said that the Rebel Prince was not a traitor but a hero...

In the final battle for the throne, Amani must fight for everything she believes in, but with the rebellion in pieces, and the Sultan's armies advancing across the desert plains, who will lead, who will triumph, who will live and who will die?

'Thrilling.' Booklist

'Hugely entertaining . . . with a rich seam of Arabic culture, djinni magic, breathless romance and show-stopping action sequences.' Bookseller

Reviews

[Djilan]

This trilogy has it all. Courage, suffering, love, heroes, deceit, sacrifice, magic, action and friendship for life.
It's about less than perfect people, and so making not always the best decisions, but they try. They do the best they can. And I loved that.

Loved reading this adventure.
Rebel of the Sands has become one of my favorite series.

I am having so many feelings right now.

Initial Thoughts: I enjoyed this, but I think largely because I already was invested in the plot and the characters from the previous two books. I've been saying the pacing is off for the whole series, but is it is particularly true here. I'm not fully convinced the climax happened, it went by so fast.
