Firebrand (Rebel Angels, #1)

by Gillian Philip

I won the ARC of this book from a First-Reads Giveaway, and I wouldn't have imagined that this book was as good as it was. The plot is engaging and the characters are well developed and life-like. Most of the book was development of people, places, things, and contained less action than I expected, but it's crucial to the story and it built a large amount of suspense in the process.
The book really takes off at the end, and leaves you with a cliffhanger eager for you to continue the story of the Sithe and their failing Veil. I especially enjoyed the softer side that includes a tad of love emotions that had me getting lost among them, and this book is so different from the usual that I appreciate it even more. It has the potential of becoming the new favorite among fantasy fans alike, and will keep you turning the pages.
Firebrand is raw, violent, suspenseful, intriguing, gripping and powerful.
I look forward to the second book becoming available in the USA!
