Rebel of the Sands is a 2016 young adult novel written by Alwyn Hamilton. Rebel of the Sands is Hamilton's debut novel.[1] This is the first book of the trilogy.

Plot

Sixteen-year-old gunslinger and sharpshooter Amani Al'Hiza has the elemental power to control the sands of the desert. An orphan, she itches to leave Dustwalk, the small village where she lives with her aunt, uncle, and cousins. Amani escapes to travel across the desert with Jin, a mysterious foreigner. They encounter many dangers along the journey as they defend themselves against mythical creatures such as the "Nightmares" and "Skinwalkers". Along the way, Amani found many secrets about herself, and the mysterious Rebel Prince.

Reception

In a New York Times review, Jeff Giles wrote: "Rebel of the Sands is a winning bit of storytelling, as well as a homage to storytelling itself. It evokes such disparate influences ... that at times you wonder whether Hamilton can pull it all off. She can."[2] Linda Buckley-Archer of The Guardian called the book "a high-concept, and highly enjoyable, epic fantasy adventure for young adults."[3] A Publisher Weekly review remarked, "Hamilton successfully mingles romance with thrilling stakes, and hints at a welcome sequel."[4] A Kirkus review described the book as "romantic, thrilling, hilarious, and just plain great fun."[5]

Film adaptation

Willow Smith's MSFTS Production and Cartel Entertainment acquired the film rights to the Rebel Of The Sands trilogy in 2017.[6]
