It's been seven days since Clementine, Logan, and their allies retreated into hiding on the Surface. Clementine feels almost safe in their company, but she knows it won't last. The rebels may have won one fight against Commander Charlie, but the war is far from over. He will find a way to fly his Core battleship to the nearby planet, Marden, no matter how many lives are lost in the process. Unless the rebels defeat him first. The rebel plan is simple: they will infiltrate each sector and weaken his infrastructure from within his ranks. They will convince the underage workers in the camps to join in the uprising. They will hijack ships, enter the Core, and assassinate Charlie. But Charlie has more weapons in his possession than guns and bombs, and he will do whatever it takes to keep the rebels from ruining his plans. With every step, Clementine draws closer to losing Logan and everyone she cares about—and losing control of herself.

Clementine and Logan are now with the rebels, eager and ready to take down Commander Charlie. Clementine’s current mission is to go into the work camps and weaken the infrastructure. But as determined as she is, the enemies surround everyone, and it may prove impossible to make it out safe.
REBELLION is a quick read, full of fast action that keeps the reader turning the page. There is rarely a dull moment, and Stephanie Diaz does a wonderful job of moving the story where it needs to go in a timely and efficient manner. There is a constant string of suspense and worry throughout the narrative, given how close Clementine and her friends are to danger, and this easily makes for a fast paced read.
Where some of the characters feel into an awkward fit in the previous novel, most have a solid place now, such as Beechy. Diaz captures the feel of a rebellion perfectly, keeping characters on edge, quick to anger, but even quicker to fight back against the injustice they face.
As with the first book, the plot is largely predictable. There is one surprising twist with a character that works very well, and I never saw it coming. However, Commander Charlie continues to read as a standard, flat villain, and even Logan, the love interest, is once again barely present in the story. There is little development within characters outside of Clementine. The author does do a nice job of balancing a large number of characters and appropriately reminding the reader who is who if the character hasn’t appeared for a while.
Overall, readers might not find anything new in REBELLION, but fans of this genre and series will be delighted for another enjoyable and adventurous story.
