Rebels

I received this book from the author/publisher for the purpose of this review. All comments and opinions are entirely my own.

In this final book to The Safe Lands series, the story of the brothers and their friends is brought to an end in an epic final!

Readers of The Safe Lands had better be ready for late nights, and especially so with this last book! The tension is present and unpredictable, the characters' development is incredible as they apply the lessons they learned in the past book, and so much is at stake!

The content that young readers may need to be aware of is the referral and use of alcohol as well as drugs, by the main characters. There are also plenty of sexual references, comments, and temptations for characters who struggle with lust (no scenes), and there is an appearance of a gay man. The violence and tension is present, but not enough to be concerned about.

To make something clear, this is a Christian series and though all of the above is present, it is not mentioned in a way that makes the readers think that it's cool. This is a Dystopian novel which means that these elements are present to create a world that is terrible, and these things are betrayed as such. Many readers may learn how to fight the temptation based on how these realistic characters fight them.

I do highly recommend this entire series, and I specifically give Rebels 5 out of 5 stars.
