Although he’s got an altogether different mindset than his brother, they have that same tenacity when it comes to something they believe in. Eden looks at these flaws both as a victim of the system and as a tech genius. That point system dictates where and what they can do. While the city is a technopolis like no other, the citizens live based on a points system. One of my favourite aspects is the fact that Ross City, while not remotely like the old Republic, has its own host of problems plaguing their world.

There’s so much going on from the start of this story. As Eden delves further into the criminal underworld of Ross City, he’ll find out even his own brother won’t be able to save him…at least not on his own. As both brothers struggle to accept what they’ve become since the Republic, a new danger is creeping its way into Ross City, further distancing the brother’s from each other. All that matters to Daniel now is keeping Eden safe, even if it means giving up June, the love of his life. That same young man now spends his days hidden away from the world, attempting to leave his past behind. He has lived in his brother’s shadow for a long time, despite being a top student at his academy and a brilliant inventor in Ross City, Antarctica, all people seem to remember is that he’s brother to a young man who led a revolution. Rebel is the story of Eden Wing, Daniel (Day) Wing’s younger brother.

It is well worth the read, and I highly encourage everyone to pick it up!

I started back into the world of Legend as if I had just finished Champion yesterday, and I tried to pace myself and savour the final journey that I would take with these characters. Some might have hated the way that it ended, but it seemed like a natural stopping point. At the time, it was what I needed because of the harrowing journey our beloved Day and June go through. While it’s not rare that I would love to revisit worlds of favourite series, the ending of Champion left me empty. With that said, I was beside myself when I learned I would get to review this book. I encourage you to pick up the series if you haven’t yet, it’s a phenomenal story!
