You really have to read the whole series to get the full effect — Rebels is not a standalone novel. That being said, I didn’t read book 2, Outcasts, although I did read book 1, Captives. Because of this, I am not sure I can give a full and accurate review of Rebels. But I will give you my thoughts on the novel. **Please be aware there are Spoilers ahead!** Rebels continues the story first told in Captives and continued in Outcasts. The three brothers, Mason, Levi and Omar are all affected by their time spent in the Safe Lands. The glitz of the nation is soon stripped away and the secret behind Liberation is revealed. I found the upside-down nature of the Safe Lands’ economy a statement on our own. Youth and leisure are touted — until your time is up at age 40. Liberation really means a life filled with brutality and degradation and forced labor until you die. In our own society, people are encouraged to live it up while young. Restraint and hard work are becoming things of the past. And while older members of our society are not being forced into labor, it is the wealth of older adults that is being eyed more and more to finance our government and the programs people are becoming dependent upon. While I was reading Rebels I was reminded of the future described in James Dobson’s book, Fatherless (review HERE). Are we becoming a society in which pleasure and selfishness trumps people? The lack of relationships among those of the Safelanders is also a growing trend described again by James Dobson. Rebels and Fatherless are very different books, but have striking similarities. One of the rebel groups lives underground. The Kindred seeks to keep out the contamination of the Safe Lands, protecting itself from immorality and the plague that is rampant in the nation. But they are also dogmatic in their beliefs, not allowing for compassion and mercy. But some of the characters, namely Mason, Shaylinn and even Omar, live a life of light in a dark world. Instead of becoming insulated, they seek to show hope and love to those who need it. This is a good lesson for Christians today who want to be in the world but not of it. Complex plot lines, complex characters and complex themes mark The Safe Land series. Though a little rushed at the end, I think Williamson did a good job in portraying a future world that has big lessons for us today. Audience: older teens and adults.

The remnant of Glenrock has been scattered. But they are not beaten. The Safe Lands have long kept the true meaning of Liberation secret from their people. 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. His only choice to save Jemma may be to take up Omar's old role of undercover vigilante, leading the rebels in their quest to overthrow the government. But will Levi's new role be enough? 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. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
