HERO AT THE FALL

Listeners unfamiliar with Hamilton's Rebel of the Sands series may initially have trouble understanding both Amani Al'Hiza's powers and the fantastical world in which she lives. Narrator Soneela Nankani draws listeners into a story with a strong heroine who is forced to take on the role of a leader who opposes a powerful sultan. Nankani, narrator of the entire series, delivers the young leader's wide variety of emotions as she undergoes traumas, makes decisions that will affect her destiny, leads the rebels, and enjoys time with her beloved, Jin. Nankani's steady pace and clear presentation allow listeners to better appreciate the many characters and the conclusion of the trilogy. E.J.F. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2018]
