Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into 'Rebel' by its unique setting and strong-willed protagonist. Valinda Lacey is a refreshing heroine, her determination and intelligence driving the story forward. Staunton's narration is a perfect match, bringing Valinda's character to life with nuance and energy. The pacing is excellent, balancing tension and romance with historical context. My only critique is that some secondary characters could have used more development, but overall, 'Rebel' is a captivating listen that kept me engaged from start to finish.
