Editorial Reviews
PRAISE FOR Rebel Heart:
"Rebel Heart is a kick to the gut; a book that will rip your heart out, tear it to shreds, and then apologize while trying to paste it back together. An emotional whirlwind, every second of Rebel Heart is worth the agony. It is a stunning continuation of what I already believed to be a perfect novel. Young has once again amazed me and left me breathless." —MTV's Hollywood Crush
"Young is even more ambitious this time out, interweaving multiple plot threads and narrative voices. . . . Her immersive storytelling will lure readers deeper into this dangerous, starkly lovely terrain." —Publishers Weekly
"Simple language and straightforward storytelling characterize Young's second book in the Dust Lands Trilogy. . . . Young's invented rural dialect ('You bin hit! Pull it out! I says.'), truncated phrases and curt, simple sentences make this a quick dash of a read. Plot-driven and action-packed with violence, romance and intrigue." —Toronto Star
“A solid and emotional sequel buoyed by Moira Young's most excellent writing. . . . I was utterly engrossed through the entire read.” —Recovering Potter Addict
