Honestly, Miss Mayhem feels like that last cookie, that you don't want to eat anymore, but you took it and you loved all of the other cookies damn it.

the dull plot (in comparison to the first book at least).

'That's not very nice,' I told her, but the little girl shrugged. Miss Mayhem albeit, did something the first book never did: It bored me.īeing mean to kids is never okay, so I made myself put on a smile. I loved Harper, her girly badassness and all. It was a hilarious, a light fantasy that read more like a contemporary. I loved Rebel Belle a year ago, and I know that I would love it again, if I read it now.

I’d still recommend it to my friends, they are short, fast reads so you don’t need to invest a lot of time, and the Rebel Belle trilogy is really a pleasant way to spend a lazy afternoon. We get a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, though the last book is a darker tone than its predecessors. It would go from pretty good to mind-blowingly awesome. The middle book was flat, failing to up the anty, and could have been edited down to half its length and paced as a much better book – in fact I’d love to see the series heavily edited, a curve ball or two thrown in and bound into one book. It is a fun after-school special type of story. Though this series is very predictable and better suited to the younger end of the YA market – it lacked the punch I was hoping for and doesn’t possess great complexity. The mythology of Paladins and Oracles is something I haven’t read a lot about and added a unique twist to the story.

The premise is certainly compelling and I had high hopes for this series, though it under delivered on my expectations, but is still very entertaining.

Prez brings the popular girl turned guardian (Paladin) battling magical foes with witty one-liners and awesome fighting scenes to the forefront. This was a cute little trilogy – reminiscent of Buffy and the Scooby Gang. Average adventures with plenty of promise.
