Traitor To The Throne (Rebel of the Sands Sequel): score 4
Recommended if you like dangerous rebellions, magical, gutsy & snarky heroines & an evil sultan (whom you may start to root for). This sequel is just as good as the 1st! But it depends on what you liked about it… If you liked Amani’s recklessness & gunslinging, this may disappoint you. She’s not the same impulsive, shoot 1st & ask questions later type. Also there isn’t as much action or romance or wandering of desserts.
Instead it’s got a slow burn romance & is more about her as a spy in the Rebel Prince’s war. Also It’s longer, with more backstory & more dazzling myths. It’s really a thrilling & exciting adventure.
