Challenge Corner discussion

Mortals rule the desert nation of Miraji, but mythical beasts still roam the wild and remote areas, and rumor has it that somewhere, djinn still perform their magic. For humans, it’s an unforgiving place, especially if you’re poor, orphaned, or female.

Amani Al’Hiza is all three. She’s a gifted gunslinger with perfect aim, but she can’t shoot her way out of Dustwalk, the back-country town where she’s destined to wind up wed or dead.

Then she meets Jin, a rakish foreigner, in a shooting contest, and sees him as the perfect escape route. But though she’s spent years dreaming of leaving Dustwalk, she never imagined she’d gallop away on mythical horse—or that it would take a foreign fugitive to show her the heart of the desert she thought she knew.

Rebel of the Sands reveals what happens when a dream deferred explodes—in the fires of rebellion, of romantic passion, and the all-consuming inferno of a girl finally, at long last, embracing her power.

HAHAHAHAA OMG WE DIDN'T

Lmfao. I just died. That is too fucking funny. 😂😂😂😂

Well it's changed now

Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[Started off a bit slow but I'm really liking Amani's character. I hate her family though. Especially the way her aunt and uncle treat her. I'm already shipping her with the foreigner!! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 9: (view spoiler)[THAT KISS! Even though it wasn't a kiss kiss but more like hey I'm gonna attack your mouth so we don't get caught by soldiers.. I still loved it. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[WHAT THE EVER LOVING HELL DID I JUST READ?!?! Jin better not die or I'm gonna be livid. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[Was that sexual tension you were hinting at me right there in that wonderful fight?!? CAN YOU GUYS JUST BE A COUPLE AND MAKE OUT OR SOMETHING?!!? (hide spoiler)]

Finished: (view spoiler)[OMG THIS WAS SO GOOD! I need to dive into the second book ASAP! (hide spoiler)]

haha just now..

Forgot to post in this group, duh!

Ch 4 - (view spoiler)[ I'm loving the set up so far. She's got to get out of that town. The thought of her staying grosses me out. I'm really hoping she can escape with the foreigner b/c I'm already shipping the two of them!! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 6 - (view spoiler)[ Oh geez, I hope Tamid is ok. I can't believe that sleezeball Fazim! I hope he gets his just reward by the end of this book. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 14 - (view spoiler)[ Uh oh, I think leaving Noorsham behind and breaking her promise is a mistake. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 20 - (view spoiler)[ Well, now I'm wondering what her power will be! I'm a little upset for Jin for not telling her the truth and I don't blame her for questioning all that has happened between them.....but I'm still shipping them after that hot kiss a few chapters ago. Can we get to the making up soon? (hide spoiler)]

Finished - (view spoiler)[ Ok, as good a place to stop book one as any. I know we haven't seen the end of Noorsham, but hopefully, that bit at the end with Amani fighting WITH him against the soldiers will start to make her look more like the ally she wants to be. I was hoping for a little more intensity with the post-battle reunion with Jin than a peck and a hug, but oh well. (hide spoiler)]

😂😂 I do that all the time.

Glad to see you guys enjoyed it. I read the full trilogy earlier in the year. Such a fab series as a whole. The third one is my fave of the three.
