Rebel Born

Secondborn, Book 3

By: Amy A. Bartol

Narrated by: Kate Reinders

Roselle faces a mind-reeling showdown with the deep state agent controlling her psyche in the Wall Street Journal bestselling conclusion to the Secondborn series.

Roselle St. Sismode is many things: victim of a conspiracy, unwilling host of an ever-evolving mind algorithm, spy for a rebel army, and heir to the Fate of Swords. As a warrior, she’s also the anticipated main event at the Secondborn Trials. When the opening ceremonies erupt in chaos, Roselle is abducted by a sadistic agent with a diabolical plan: transform Roselle into a mind-controlled assassin to topple society. But a rogue scientist has implanted Roselle with a genius technology that is far more powerful. It renders her untouchable. Faster. Stronger. And maybe immortal.

With her enhanced abilities come the highest stakes yet, as Roselle confronts shifting realities at every turn as well as her own mother’s stunning betrayal. Racing against time with a determined resistance group, can Roselle overthrow the forces of destruction and reclaim the most valuable of commodities - her humanity?

Not what i expected

spoiler alert: she became a matrix like Neo like god, fighting an matrix like agent smith in Crow, who was created by an unseen architect like mastermind who wanted take over multiple worlds simultaneously. I won't even get into the love story. It was ridiculous.

Soooooooo...

okay now as someone who has read every Amy A Bartol book I can't deny I love her writing but the end in this one kinda threw me. I wanted more, the end just happened, I didn't feel like there was much of a big fight at the end. It just felt like bam okay we are done now.

Great series, slightly rushed ending.

I really enjoyed this series. I think my only critique is that the ending came so fast that it really didn’t feel as impactful as it could have. Still totally worth the listen.

Disappointing

I LOVED the first two books of this series, but was sorely disappointed by this one. It is as if the author gave up on trying to write more of the smart, well-crafted story line and resorted to parlor tricks to carry the plot. SPOILER ALERT: dragon gods? Roselle making food out of thin air, along with food on a silver serving cart? Being able to make gods of other people? It all just seemed like she had no idea how to finish what she’d begun so she just s tarted throwing every outlandish thing she could think of. And it all came down, after three books, to an anti-climactic fight of only a few paragraphs. Disappointing...

Different Than Expected

The story and narration is good but it is no where near the direction that the 1st 2 books lead you. Whatever you thought might happen, you are completely wrong. Just go in with an open mind.
