Roselle faces a mind-reeling showdown with the deep state agent controlling her psyche in the Wall Street Journal bestselling conclusion to the Secondborn series.

Roselle St. Sismode is many things: victim of a conspiracy, unwilling host of an ever-evolving mind algorithm, spy for a rebel army, and heir to the Fate of Swords. As a warrior, she’s also the anticipated main event at the Secondborn Trials. When the opening ceremonies erupt in chaos, Roselle is abducted by a sadistic agent with a diabolical plan: transform Roselle into a mind-controlled assassin to topple society. But a rogue scientist has implanted Roselle with a genius technology that is far more powerful. It renders her untouchable. Faster. Stronger. And maybe immortal.

With her enhanced abilities come the highest stakes yet, as Roselle confronts shifting realities at every turn as well as her own mother’s stunning betrayal. Racing against time with a determined resistance group, can Roselle overthrow the forces of destruction and reclaim the most valuable of commodities—her humanity?

I feel I need to read it again to understand it.

Reviewed in Australia on 4 July 2019

Verified Purchase

I waited in loooong anticipation for the final instalment of this trilogy series. I LOVE the way the author writes, her characters are strong, and bold. There is always a great mix of wit and charm, saddled with the right amount of sass and strength.
Rebel Born (1st time around) hasn't hit me like ALL the other books, I am surprised by this feeling of...Is that it?
So much future state tech and sci fi in this book am I really getting this?
I feel like there is a whole other story missing from the uprising of the Zeros and the Black O's to Roselle awakening. That it was a too quick ending for Dune and Walther Peates...
I still recommend the series, the amazing author and all her other books. Amy is well deserved in her UTOPIACON awards and all other awards. I do not want to take anything away from her writing.
I am usually left with the feeling that once I am finished reading one of Amy's series or novels I want to start all over again because I was so invested in the fantasy, escaping and living inside the story. Amy is that good!
But I was left a little disappointed in this book, I want to re-read Rebel Born to make sure I understood it and have it straight in my mind.
Sorry Amy (if you read this).

The third book in (what was originally) a great trilogy is an utter train smash!

Reviewed in Australia on 15 June 2019

I’ve read a lot of trilogies and the third book often disappoints. However, this trilogy takes it to a whole new level. It’s like the third book is written by a completely different author who takes the story into this unforeseen and utterly absurd direction.

The first two books set up the dystopian setting beautifully with strong and likeable characters and I was so looking forward to seeing how they went about creating a new world. Instead I found myself reading about collective AI intelligence, clones, human/animal (including dragons) hybrids and gods.

It…is…utter tripe!

Then to make matters worse, all the characters who I loved in the first two books just become boring one-dimensional characters in the third book.

I will never again waste my time on this author and I strongly suggest you don’t waste your time on this trilogy.

Stressful

Reviewed in Australia on 5 July 2019

Verified Purchase

For a good portion of this book I was reading with my heart in my mouth, pounding furiously, my stomach in knots, wondering what was going to happen to Roselle and if Crow was indeed "killable". Then, in the last 10% everything fell into place and now that's done I can breathe again. All that breath holding can't be good for a girl!! Well done Amy for building the tension and then tying all the loose threads when we needed them.

I'm not sure it ended how I expected but I'm also glad it didn't drag into another book. You balanced it just right.

Feels like a completely new story - not an extension of the first two books.

Reviewed in Australia on 5 June 2019

What did I just read?! I had been really looking forward to this book...

It pains me to rate this 1/5 - but Goodreads says 1 star is "did not like", and well, I didn't. The previous books explored power/control, the failings of a flawed class system, and rebellion in a world with moderately advanced tech. I was looking forward to seeing that world reborn, and seeing Roselle come into her own. This book didn't continue with any of that, and did not feel like a natural extension of the first two Secondborn books. I would describe this book as Hercules meets the Matrix, with alternate dimensions/worlds. Everything that happens in this book, including the laws of physics and history, seems completely new, and came from nowhere. Rename the characters, and it would be an entirely new story.

Had this been a new series, the concept was ok, but way too much exposition and repetition. I stopped caring about all of the characters before the end. Even Reykin, who I adored in book 2, fell flat.

A bit of a let down

Reviewed in Australia on 4 June 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm not sure if it's the long time it took for this book to land or the fact that everyone is apparently a god now, but I found this book a really big let down as an ending to a series that started out so strongly. I'm somewhat disappointed by it all and skimmed the last few chapters just to get to the really lacklustre ending. Ho hum.

Mixed feelings

Reviewed in Australia on 30 September 2019

Verified Purchase

I had very mixed feelings about this book. I read this series in two days. I loved the first two books they set up great characters and an interesting world. This last book changed everything, it made this cool real world seem as if it was insignificant and the characters became two dimensional and also insignificant. I thought for sure there was a 4th book until I read some reviews and did some research and realised this was the end. What?! Too many concepts were introduced and honestly I ended up skim reading most this book from disinterest or confusion.

Fell well short of my expectations

Reviewed in Australia on 8 June 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm so disappointed by this book and that's devastating because I spent months anticipating its release after enjoying the first two so thoroughly.

The story took a really strange turn and for me it lost all of its magic and the connectections I felt with the characters. If they hadn't been developed so strongly in the first two books I probably wouldn't have made it to the end of this one. 95% of the way through the book I thought for sure there would be a fourth book, but instead it wrapped up in a dozen or so pages with a neat little bow and zero excitement.

Secondborn book 3

I feel I’ve read the 3 books without putting them down. Apart from a few hours of needed sleep. They kept me enthralled from the first to last page, fantastic characters, terrific adventures and a truly wonderfull ending.

What on earth happened? This series went from dystopian soft sci-fi to parallel universes, gods, goddesses, rogue AI, dragons and telekinetic immortals. It's no longer you have to suspend your disbelief on how this world works, you have to smother it with a pillow and throw it into the nearest river to get through the novel, for it to end with a neatly tied bow of happy-ever-after epilogue that skips all the messiness to get there. It took me ages to get through this, the only reason I finished it was that I hate to leave things unfinished.

This was such a massive disappointment after the first two novels, after becoming invested in the MC and actually caring who she would end up with romantically (when I usually hate "love triangles") only for it to be copped out and the choice is fixed with the parallel universe. Overall, a big disappointment.

Not as amazing as I hoped!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2019

Verified Purchase

I've been so excited about this book and had reread the first 2 books in anticipation, and for the most it was a wonderful conclusion to the trilogy. However, I was slightly disappointed and confused by the direction that it took with the concept of some characters being gods. It didn't sit comfortably with me and I felt there wasn't quite enough background and information about them, almost as though they were an afterthought or the author didn't quite know how to explain Roselle's survival and powers. Also found the alternate reality difficult to justify, I can appreciate the idea that someones identity could be uploaded to become part of an AI, but to be able to have a child in that AI seems farfetched. I love a happy ending as much as the next person, but this was a bit too saccharine sweet for me and left me feeling unsatisfied. Despite all of the above, I did enjoy it and perhaps on a second reading, I'll come to love it more? Sorry for the negativity.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2019

Verified Purchase

Like many other readers I couldn't wait for this book to come out. The first two books were rich with descriptions of characters, glass and concrete trees and it had a few twists and turns. It also had the love triangle, who would Roselle fall for? The third book however seems to have been written by someone else entirely. Its gone from a "normal" albeit futuristic world with mechadomes and gadgets to one inhabited by gods and artificial intelligence, a complete change of direction. Its very confusing to read with none of the richness from the first two books. It also ends quite abruptly like the author got bored or had to hit a deadline. Amy please rewrite without the gods and AI.

Rushed ending with no detailed explanation.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 June 2019

Verified Purchase

Was really looking forward to this release. Three quarters of the way through I thought this is going to end with another book to be released to explain everything. But no.. I have to say the ending of what is a great series was rushed and such a let down. They all live happily ever after and side note the bad guy has been defeated. Disappointed such an anticlimax.

A disappointing end to the trilogy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2019

Verified Purchase

Having introduced cyber zombies at the end of the second book, this book jumps the shark introducing immortals, gods, dragons, rogue AI, parallel worlds and telekenetic powers. Having spent so much time building up these concepts the final chapters feel a bit rushed.
