The Rebellion {blog tour + book review}

WHO'S EXCITED??

Yes, I totally am going to use Cinderella's Castle for every Livy-related post I make, lol.

Will I ever post anything but blog tours?  Eh, probably not.

But that's fine because Livy's new book comes out TOMORROW!!!

And because I got to be part of this awesome blog tour, you get a review right now!


The Rebellion

Author: Livy Jarmusch
Genre: Contemporary/Christian
Content: None
Main character(s): The royal family of Tarsurella, Vanessa Bennett, Hansen Fletcher

Synopsis:
Vanessa Bennett lands her dream job working at the Palace in Tarsurella. She struggles to balance everything on her plate: life in a new country, stressful deadlines, crabby co-workers, college classes at the local University, and blossoming feelings of romantic adoration toward her boss–King Addison. Keeping up with her To-Do list, while trying to earn respect in Addison’s male-dominated administration, presents its challenges. Nevertheless, she can’t help but fight a reoccurring thought and the excitement rising with it: is Addison interested in her?
Addison is adjusting to his new role as King. Rumors of a rebellious uprising among the youth in Tarsurella intensifies, as acts of violence and protest break out across the city. Addison is determined to uncover the hidden instigator who fearlessly blogs democracy-driven ideals with a secretive pen name. Will Addison discover and expose the fiery rebellion leader? Or will his efforts fail to stop the rebellious thoughts spreading like wildfire, causing a heartbreaking rift in his divided nation? 

Placement in Series: 2 of I don't know how many (I am so stoked for book 3, I can't even tell you) in the Tales of Tarsurella series.

What I Thought:

This was such a perfect follow-up!  Just as much fluffy feel-good-ness with a touch of angst, and just enough suspense and intrigue to keep the plot going.  I really, really enjoyed it!  Being back with these characters was great, and I love pretty much all the ships.  (Mostly the main one, tbh, I love them with all my heart)  It was so fun.

Favorite Quote:
"You can't change the world by becoming just like it."

Book Playlist:

This is the same playlist as the first book, only now it's a whole series playlist, has a few new songs, and a pretty new cover picture.  I really like this playlist a lot (guess who's been listening to this playlist for the past few days straight?  This gal!)

Will I Keep Reading? YESSS

Overall Rating: 4 Up-themed dates out of 5
