But after being sentenced to Liberation themselves, Mason and Omar soon discover the truth. Levi watched his brothers’ public sentencing and tries to hold out hope they are still alive, He is forced to focus his attention elsewhere, however, when his new wife, Jemma, is captured and made the Safe Lands’ newest Queen.

Meanwhile, Jemma’s sister, Shaylinn, is ready to give birth to the “Safe Lands’” children … but not even Ciddah is sure they can be delivered safely in the midst of a rebellion. And Mason must face the fact Omar’s illness could be fatal. If they can all unite their efforts, together they may be able to expose the Safe Lands’ lies to the people. But if they fail, they will all surely die.

Jill Williamson is a creative author with a great imagination and a willingness to push her characters. She doesn't disappoint with Rebels, the last book in the Safe Lands series.There's a little bit of catching up with the cliffhanger from the second book, but the plot takes off quickly and leads the remnant of Glenrock village through twists and turns that I couldn't see coming. There were nice surprises, and the book was, like the others in the series, an engaging read.There are a few too many minor characters named that make a few scenes a little confusing, but that is a minor issue. Overall the main characters of Levi, Mason, Omar, Jemma, and Shaylinn all have challenges to overcome as the story progresses to the dramatic ending.Jill's also not afraid to address some issues that were set up in prior books: despair, drug abuse, and control by authorities.The Safe Lands series is a great YA dystopian trilogy, and Rebels is a fitting conclusion to it. Don't miss it.
Rebels is the exciting conclusion of the Safe Lands Trilogy. We find the captives thrown into a different layer of the land they had be dragged away to. In the Lowlands they work in the "dirty" jobs that those in the higher lands choose to act as if they don't exist. Meanwhile they are trying to learn the culture in the Lowlands, they are also planning the rescue of their friends, their eventual escape, a cure for the plague that threatens the people of the Safe Lands, and exposing the hierarchy's lies to the people.Rebels is a great story, but you need to read the whole series to get the whole affect. Start with Captives, then Outcast, and finally Rebels. All three are great books and tell a single story. I can't recommend this series enough. 5 Stars!
This was a great conclusion to the Safe Lands trilogy. In my opinion, Jill's writing went from a 3, to a 3.5, to a 4. So much happened in this series and this book in particular. I don't want to give anything away, but I will say we FINALLY learn what liberation means! The story once again focuses on Mason and Omar, and Elder Levi of course. Mason and Omar have been liberated, and meanwhile Levi is living underground with the Kindred people, trying to formulate a plan to get everyone out of the Safe Lands and back to Glenrock. This was all in all a good series, and I was very satisfied with the conclusion. Jill did a great job of wrapping everything up and I had no further questions.
Summary:Mason and Levi now face liberationâone of the Safe Lands best-kept secrets. But even knowing the truth about liberation isnât enough to save their family and friends. When Omarâs illness grows worse, Shaylinnâs unborn babies are in danger, and Jemma is selected as the new Safe Lands queen, all hope seems lost. But the rebels are making plans, and if they succeed, long-sought freedom and truth will finally come to those under the oppression of the government. But if they fail, death is immanent.My Thoughts:This trilogy started out strong in Captives, but it gets better with each book in the series.Rebels is a fast-paced,gripping journey with numerous twists that leave readers wondering if the secrets of the Safe Lands will ever be exposed. Through unexpected turns and moments that make you stop reading and stare at the page while you try to process the intensity of the story, Rebels is a thrilling end to Jill Williamsonâs series.There are themes of redemption, forgiveness, and unconditional love woven throughout the book, but the characters never arrive at these themes the easy wayâ¦nor do they have all of the answers about life, God, or their seemingly impossible circumstances.This makes Mason, Levi, Omar, and the rest of the characters seem like real people, even though theyâre living in a fictional world. A lot of time lapses in this third book, and many characters weave in and out of the story. But the results are absolutely incredible.In Conclusion:So after journeying through all three books in the series, would I recommend it? Absolutely. This is a series teens (guys and girls) will enjoy, yet itâs offers a complex storyline people beyond the teen years will enjoy, too. Jill Williamson doesnât sugarcoat any details, meaning the story presents some of the grittiness of life in a straightforward way, yet she always shows the situations in light of a Biblical standpoint. This means, consequences happen, but so does forgiveness. And the ending? I canât give away any details. But I will say Iâm going to miss hanging out in such a well-crafted story world.Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review bloggers program.

Rebels is the third and final book in the "Safe Lands" series and a great conclusion! I was surprised to find out what "liberation" was - it was not what I was expecting!The book ends in a way that doesn't tell you how everything is going to turn out, so you can decide what's going to happen regarding certain things. I'm not really a fan of this type of ending because I like to know what will happen without having to guess. ;)I loved the suspense and action in Rebels. There were a lot of moments when I was so engrossed in the story and eager to see what was going to happen next! I also loved the setting and characters -- it all felt so real!Overall, Rebels was a great YA dystopian. I've loved this series and definitely recommend it to mature teens and adults that like this genre.*Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention/review it on my blog.
