I just felt so satisfied with the ending.

She showed that wars don’t stop the fighting between realms over night it takes time. Hamilton showed how flawed humans are, and how war is always on the horizon. It was done perfectly, where she spanned five decades after the war had finished, and she tied up all the loose ends, and also told us where our characters had ended up, and even what the world was like after all the characters had died. I can’t believe how well Hamilton wrote that ending. As she watches those she loves most lay their lives on the line against ghouls and enemy soldiers, Amani questions whether she can be the leader they need or if she is leading them all to their deaths. Armed with only her revolver, her wits, and her untameable Demdji powers, Amani must rally her skeleton crew of rebels for a rescue mission through the unforgiving desert to a place that, according to maps, doesn’t exist. But after the bloodthirsty Sultan of Miraji imprisoned the Rebel Prince Ahmed in the mythical city of Eremot, she doesn’t have a choice. When gunslinging Amani Al’Hiza escaped her dead-end town, she never imagined she’d join a revolution, let alone lead one. *Because this book is the third and final in the series, there ARE going to be spoilers, because I don’t think I can write this review without them…* I read Rebel of the Sands when it first came out, and following Amani on her journey across the desert, into the Sultan’s palace in Traitor to the Throne, and back across the desert , has been a delightful (and not so delightful) journey. I feel like I have been waiting for this all my life. Ahhhhh, here it is: the final book in the Rebel of the Sands trilogy.
