I love the Dustlands trilogy. If you can look past the broken English and use of slang, it's one of the most well written and unique post apocalyptic young adults novels to date. It's set in a dystopian future, where today's generation have long since killed the planet. The land is barren, clean water is scarce and it is a sad lonely society. Saba is an awesome female heroine, she is tough, fearless and will move heaven and earth to protect what's hers.

In Rebel heart, we see a softer side of Saba. She's vulnerable and self conscious and indecisive. She struggles between the love for her twin brother Lugh, who is emotionally volatile, Jack, and the intense DeMalo. The revelations towards the end, leave more questions than answers, and no doubt setting the scene for an epic finale to the series.
