In Rebel Born we return to our lovely and sassy Roselle just as the Secondborn Trials are scheduled to start. Chaos, terror and blood reign during the opening ceremonies in which Roselle is captured by our "favorite" Census agent. Once secured, she is taken to a remote site no one remembers to receive her very own implant allowing said Census agent to control her at will. Only hers is different... her technician has implanted a device that is correct but it is better in every way than the standard models. Roselle was always exceptional but now she's one of a kind.

I appreciated the recap introduction back into the story line, it really helped bring my brain back up to speed on what was going on when Traitorborn ended. Rebel Born didn't just expand on Roselle herself but also the world that the series takes place in. There are quite a few interesting new/upgraded characters in this novel as well as newly introduced ideas. The novel was an ending to the series but the end (of the book) felt slightly rushed. It was not disappointing, it tied up what loose ends there were quite nicely. I feel that it may have left the door open for a continuation - maybe not with Roselle but possibly one of the other characters.

The Secondborn series reminds me of some aspects of The Matrix and The Hunger Games. I highly recommend this series if you like strong female heroines and/or dystopian futuristic novels. If this series sounds appealing and you also happen to have Kindle Unlimited you really don't have anything to lose - the series is part of Kindle Unlimited. ( )

Just thinking about how far away the release date is for this book gives me heart palpitations.
