I also liked that she took a while to trust others and trust the situation she was thrown into. It made her feel more real. The plot was a little slow to fully get going, but once it did, it was awesome. I liked the premise and the author did a great job in explaining it and bringing the world to life. The romance was slow to build, which I also liked and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here!! In all, this was a good introduction to the world and the author and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book.
Courtney Parker was easy to listen to and had a clear voice. She had a few different tones and voices for the characters but some of them sounded too similar and I was a little confused at times as to which female character was talking! I was given this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. After the nuclear explosion that decimated the world most people were left topside.
There are shelters all over the city where people can stay but they have to scavenge for goods to pay for a place in the shelters. The radiation is so bad no one wants to be out in the AM. Caelin goes out in the PM to scavenge for goods so she can secure a place in the shelter for her and her little sister Mardy. Caelin has taken care of her sister for a long while now and will not let Mardy go out with her to sc After the nuclear explosion that decimated the world most people were left topside. Caelin has taken care of her sister for a long while now and will not let Mardy go out with her to scavenge.
Caelin is out scavenging one day when she is attacked and injured. She barely made it back to the shelter. Mardy is waiting outside the shelter for her. A guy comes in and scoops Caelin off her feet and takes her to a shelter underground.
The people underground are very good to Caelin and Mardy. They take them in and give them a place to stay and food and no one has to go scavenge to pay for it. I love dystopian books and when I read the summary for Rebel Bound I knew I wanted to read it and was so glad that Shauna contacted me offering me a complimentary copy.
I started reading it when I went to bed thinking I would only read a few minutes the next I thing I knew I was almost halfway through and I thought I have got to go to sleep. So reluctantly I laid it down and picked it up first thing the next morning and finished it. Rebel Bound is a very fast read with lots of action with so many twists and turns that will have you flipping those pages. Jun 06, Billy Buttons rated it it was amazing. This is what our readers thought: I read it in three days.
I simply could not put it down.
It made the story personal at a deeper level than many dystopian novels for YA. I think YA will enjoy it very much. This book worked well on many levels, from the dystopian setting to the range of interesting characters. A totally original book in every way. The dystopian world is really well-imagined. Clever plot, fab ending.

She scavenges what she can in order to buy a place for her and her younger sister, Mardy, in one of the city's shelters.
Trusting the wrong person leaves her injured and she finds herself indebted to a young man named Jate when he comes to her rescue.

Soon, Caelin finds herself caught up in the promises of the leader, Lucian. After swearing her loyalty to him and the Impartialists, she begins to wonder if she has done the right thing. The story was well well-written and the characters were believable, but a little under developed. I think this might be an early effort by the author and I am sure with experience, her writing will be amazing. My main complaint with the book is that I found myself a little bored at times. If you enjoy books like Divergent and the Hunger Games, you will enjoy this book.
The narrator does a very good job in her performance and really makes the story come alive. This book is geared to the YA crowd, but those of us who are way past the YA stage of life will enjoy it too. I was given the chance to listen to this book by the author and chose to review it. Jul 16, Claire rated it it was amazing. Dystopian books is such an interesting genre because authors have a lot of option about how they can create their world.
Yet at the same time most books have lots of similarities and reading a lot in this genre can start to feel repetitive. But this book is anything but The character are fantastic, very well crafted from the good, to the self-serving, to the bad all of them are vivid and feel like they could walk off the page.

Caelin makes a great lead character, she's complex and yet is motivated only by looking after her sister. I don't want to give away the plot but I will say that over the book as new information comes to light it causes you to see actions and motivations in new lights and this makes for a very exciting story. Great character voices for both genders and the delivery is smooth and lows well. Feb 09, Joey Paul rated it it was amazing.
I love a good dystopian and when this one crossed my view I had to read it. The story starts with Caelin out scavenging or anything that will buy her and her sister another night or two at the local shelter. The world unable to be out during the day because of the nuclear fallout.
They've managed for themselves since their father disappeared and now it's Caelin's job to keep her sister safe. The story had me hooked from the first page, as we delved deeper and deeper into the story, with the resc I love a good dystopian and when this one crossed my view I had to read it. The story had me hooked from the first page, as we delved deeper and deeper into the story, with the rescue by Jate and all that entailed, I couldn't wait to find out what happened, whether Caelin and her sister would survive.
It did not disappoint, and was an excellent read. I will be looking forward to the next in the series as I have to know how this story ends! Aug 08, Victoria Haugen rated it it was amazing. This is an awesome story! There are so many labels these days - dystopian, young adult, post-apocalyptic, etc etc etc.
So, I guess story fits it all: I think it's geared a bit more toward young adults, but I'm 50 oops did I say that? I felt right there with Caelin as she struggles through a new world, trying to keep her and her sister safe. I loved the writing and the narration, I think all in all it's an awesome story and I'd definitely recommend it.
