Overall, the “Reboot” duology is great for dystopian/post-apocalyptic fans, and I’d even hand it to someone who likes zombie stories (even though it doesn’t dive very deeply into that genre). That said, I’d still give it a solid 3 stars (I liked it) rating and appreciated as a series-ender. “Rebel,” the second book in the duology, maintained momentum from the first, but I admit it lost a little of the magic that made “Reboot” so amazing.

For the most part, I was enjoying all of the things she did brilliantly enough that the shortcomings didn’t bother me. It was mostly just a few little things here and there that made me pause and think, “Hmm … I’m not so sure that’s consistent with the laws of physics.” Or something to that effect, but I would always decide to just roll with it. But her work does have a couple of issues, world building and accuracy among the most prominent.

Tintera is a good writer who builds characters and relationships really well and writes with great pacing and clarity.
