Rebel Spring

This series is phenomenal, Rebel Spring was a fantastic 2nd book in this series!5/5 stars!

2 1/2 stars.I'm honestly not sure if this rating is generous or harsh. I'll let you be the judge.On the one hand, I couldn't stop myself from coming back to this series after reading Falling Kingdoms. Rhodes is an extremely compelling writer. Every scene is crafted in such a way that you're on the edge of your seat, hanging on the author's every word. It's a case of excellent dramatic timing - dragging the scene out with a perfect amount of tension before dropping a dramatic revelation or conclu [...]

See this review and more at bookbastionFalling Kingdoms 1: ★★✩✩✩_______________Incredible. It's somehow even worse than the first one.I'm a patient person but this series tests the limits of that patience in a big way. If I hadn't been reading this as part of a Fantasy League group, I probably would have DNF'ed it. There's simply not enough of value in this discount Game of Thrones to make the journey worth it, and it boggles my mind that it's seen as much success in the YA community a [...]

WOW.I mean what???*coughs* I'm sorry I'm literally just at a loss for words at this momentJust kidding, here are some very disappointed & bitter words for you.So by some feat of horrible linguistic gymnastics, this book is actually worse than Falling Kingdoms, which I also gave a 1 star.I see people say all the time "I would give this book negative stars if I could." Well, this is it for me folks. This is the book I would give negative stars to if I had that capability.I honestly can't decid [...]

Do you know the feeling when after finishing a good book,it takes some time and considerable effort to adapt to reality again,to make sense of your surroundings and comprehend the sentences that form in the lips of the people around you?When your mind is clouded and refuses to operate and the only thing that matters is to go back in this book,go back where your soul lies?Rebel Spring is one of those books.After I finished it,I could hear people moving and talking,I recognized the need to study,b [...]

melissa413readsalot.cTHERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF PICS/GIFS IN THIS REVIEW BECAUSE OF ALL MY FEELS!!!!!! As in the first book, I hate King Gaius and Aron! All I wanted to happen to them was a beheading! There are so many things I couldn't stand about the both of them, but here is a little taste of King Gaius. With unexpected speed, he took hold of her head with both hands and twisted sharply. The girl's neck broke with a loud crack. She crumpled to the ground, her wide eyes now blank and glaze [...]

MAGNEO IS MY SHIP AND IF IT DOESN'T SAIL I WILL EAT MY OWN TOES, YOU HEAR ME? ANYMCFIBBIN, why the fuck is (view spoiler)[JONAS NOT DEAD THIS ANNOYING FUCKING FOOL. (hide spoiler)]This is a Great Series and I would like the next book to be shoved down my throat, thank u.Screaming review to come. 4.5 stars but should I round up or down???

1 StarOverview:I wasn't a huge fan of the first book. (2/5 stars)I found the writing cluttered and the dialogue stilted. The plotting sketchy at best, and the character’s inherently unlikable. But I enjoyed reading it in a fun fantasy league, and thought there was potential. I was really hopeful this book would be a bit better.It got worse, guys. Just so much worse.Pros:*shrug*I’ve got nothing. Cons:HOLD ON TO YOUR HATSI present to you, quite possibly the worst line I’ve ever read: (As a e [...]

“Sometimes, to regain sanity, one had to acknowledge and embrace the madness.” I really enjoyed this after putting down countless books. This one brought me back from my slump! There were some things that frustrated me but it was still highly entertaining. Let's seeLucia did nothing.Cleo did nothing.Lysandra did nothing.Nic did nothing.Watchers did nothing.Jonas, i wish he didn't do anything! He needs to sit down and find a new job or something. This one isn't working out for him very well. [...]

❝Evil is a choice one makes, not a natural state of being.❞I'm not gonna take my time on this one and this review will be a lot shorter than most reviews. I'm just gonna get to the point: Rebel Spring was a lot more boring than Falling Kingdoms. Fallings Kingdoms was actually not boring and I actually gave it a rating of 4.5 stars simply because I am not a fan of incest so that kind of dragged it a little tiny bit. But other than that, I found Morgan's writing phenomenal and I loved the high [...]

I expected way more from this book but I still loved it a lot mostly because i know that this series is going to be great. Before I get into the actual review here’s my reactions and feelings towards characters,(edit before gathering darkness)Me falling for Magnus in this book:Me looking at the situations Cleo is in:Me with Lucia towards the end:ILY Jonas, but me whenever I saw his plans:Whenever Aron, the douchiest most annoying character to ever exist came into scenes:Gaius, the father of th [...]

Well, I'm back for Round 2 of this series that my Pushy Librarian is making me read!If you don't have a Pushy Librarian of your own, I highly recommend you get one. Mine is very sweet once you get to know herThe first book, Falling Kingdoms, was a total bloodbath. Main characters that I thought would make it to the end of the series weren't any safer than the minor characters who barely had time to say OUCH! before someone killed them off. So, I was kinda expecting the same thing to happen in Re [...]

Alright, I am officially addicted.

Not to sound insensitive butI hope hope (view spoiler)[Lucia (hide spoiler)]'s coma will be a long and, if at all possible, unending one.

This is a reread because I have no chill and I just MISS THIS WORLD SO SO MUCH! Plus I need more Magnus Damora in my life.I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH. ITS JUST AS GOOD THE SECOND TIME AROUND. PICK UP THESE BOOKS IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY. OKAY? PROMISE ME. THANK YOU Look, I know I said I was going to write a full review of this. But, I'm a liar. This series is incredible. Even though this is my least favourite of the series, it's still an incredible book. I just love everything about this world and t [...]

4.5 stars! “Evil is a choice one makes, not a natural state of being.”So I don't usually do this, but this review is going to be told mostly in gifs. To be more specific, Mean Girls gifs. AWWWW YEAAAHHHHH!!!!!Me while reading this series:After the events of the previous book, three kingdoms have become one under the rule of the tyrant King Gaius. The land has transformed into one where no one is safe and survival is not easy. The king has become crazy with the notion that magic will further [...]

That was so fucking good. Starting the 3rd book now. (Let's hope there will be lots of scenes of Magnus and Cleo.)

even better than book 1!!

From the previous book, I had learned the lesson not to love characters too much. That lesson really helped me. Because there were very unexpected deaths I didn't want to happen. But along this fact, there were addition of characters too.Remember my complaint about the characters in the previous book that I didn't like them? This book was essential in that regard. I am beginning to like Jonas and Magnus. For now I like Jonas more than Magnus. But Magnus is improving impressively. I am liking tha [...]

Ughhhhhh EDIT - I feel like a lot of people are confused and want my thoughts as to why I rated this so poorly, so here it goes! I feel like the writing is very simple and nothing special, there has been instalove in both books I've read so far, I was honestly bored and felt like not a lot happened except for unnecessary character deaths which served no purpose except for being used for shock value, it wasn't memorable at all - I just finished it the other day and I can't even remember what happ [...]

Sometimes, to regain sanity, one had to acknowledge and embrace the madness.This week is dreadfully busy for me so I find I won’t have much time to review what I read…which makes me extremely sad for my beautiful boy, Magnus. I just want him to be happy, poor tortured thing. But I WILL say this:Since I read the first book in February, every time I think of picking up the second, Magnus is all I see. He is all I think about. He is what I missed the most. And now, here in this book, I feel lik [...]

Right, strap yourselves in, here comes one of my most eloquent, detailed, intricate, complex reviews ever. Pronto?*takes a deeeep breath*I LOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SERIES!!!

AAAHAGSHSHSVSVSHSVSHSVSUSVSJSBSISHSVSHSVSUSVSUSVSUVSHSVSISVSIIDBSOHMYGODDDDDDDPardon my French but HOLY FUCK! What was that? Do you seriously call that an ending???I need to know what happens, I need the third book like air. I NEED IT. NOW!After careful consideration, I think I liked Rebel Spring better than the FK, however some things just didn't convince me at all, hence 4 stars instead of 5. Fortunately pour vous et pour moi, it's the kind of things one can easily overcome by wearing super us [...]

2.5/5 starsI have a feeling this series just isn't for me. It has a lot of potential and elements that could be amazing but just don't follow through.The audiobook narrator is fantastic and part of the reason I stuck with this, but the story just hasn't been compelling enough to grip me and keep me wanting more. (It probably didn't help that I read a torch against the night while listening to this audiobook because torch was AMAZING)For the most part I really enjoy the characters and the fact th [...]

*yells for the next 10 years* THAT WAS JUST INCREDIBLE.I lowkey stared at my laptop screen for a long while before I actually started typing out my review. I was too shook to write a review for book one and I'm also shook about this one, but I feel the need to write one. Excuse me, it will basically consist of me yelling. Also, fair warning: it'll suck. Enjoy.First: READ THE BOOKS IF YOU HAVEN'T YET, OKAY. I RECOMMEND THEM STRONGLY.Second: *stares for another 4782 hours at the laptop screen beca [...]

2 starsThe one redeeming quality of this book is the Super Sexy Scottish accent the narrator gives Magnus. Otherwise, I am sad to say I actually paid for this.There are so many things wrong with this book.everything from the themes (exploitation of sexual assault and harrassment) to the meat and bones of the book (terribly written dialogue, horrible character arcs). Is it possible that this book is even worse than the first one? Yes, yes it is. I don't think I've ever read such terrible dialogue [...]

Spoilers-I enjoyed Rebel Spring more than the first book, which I absolutely hated, I only read this for completion's sake. This was still mostly a rubbish book but it did at least have some entertaining moments.-What's what: Evul King Gaius conquered Auranos/Paelasia. He now wants to gain ultimate power and immortality and do other cliched evul things. Naturally, a bunch of sexy teenagers have to stop him.-There were too many cliched romances. Every character seemed to fall in love with anyone [...]

This was epic, simple as that. Yet again I want to shake myself, why didn’t I read this series sooner? It’s utterly amazing and is quickly become a favourite, so much action, adventure, fantasy, magic and characters that I cannot stop talking about, a few poor people can attest to that!“It didn’t really matter who someone was, princess, peasant, rebel, or just a boy or a girl.”Princess Cleo is now a prisoner of war; she continues to be controlled by the Blood King and with no other opt [...]

"There arecrifices that must be made."I don't even know anymore.This series is just getting better and better.I feel so bad for Lucia & I just want her and Cleo to be buddies.Actually,I just want all of them to be buddies PRECIOUS CHILDREN.There are so many amazing and heart-wrenching moments. Morgan,who gave you the right to destroy my poor heart?I can't wait to read the next part,Gathering Darkness.I have a feeling it's going to be epic.Favourite quotes:“For ten thousand centimos, I’m [...]

*4.5 stars*Obsessed with this series at the moment! While I didn't absolutely love Falling Kingdoms, I LOVED Rebel Spring, there was so much more going on in this one, when I read Falling Kingdoms I knew that this series had a lot of potential and so far, it is REALLY heading in the right direction.Like A Game of Thrones, this is one epic fantasy read that you won't want to miss out on.In Rebel Spring the stakes are higher, King Gaius as even more power greedy and a ruthless killer. He will not [...]
