Format:Paperback
This is an original debut novel, a fantasy story that creates a living, breathing world that is almost tangible. Unlike the majority of fantasy novels there is no magic or fantastic beasts in Charanthe but a fascinating culture that is believable and absorbing.
I found myself impatient to get through the pages to find out what would happen to the main character - Eleanor - in her attempt to be accepted into the the assasins' school and I look forward to learning more about both her and the society in which she lives in Rachel's future works.

Format:Kindle Edition
This is a very good debut novel, truly captivating. You really get drawn into Eleanor's world and find yourself turning page after page to find out what happens to her next. The story progresses at a good pace, with plenty of puzzles and adventures to keep your attention. This book stands up well when compared to some more well known authors, I cared more about Eleanors fate than Sonea in Trudi Canavans books for example. Hopefully the next book will be coming soon, as I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Format:Paperback
I'm a voracious fiction reader, most often in the historically-researched and fantasy genres. Rebellion is a wonderful novel which fits neatly into neither. It's mostly fantasy, but without the traditional "high fantasy" elements of dragons, magicians and other humanoid races. Rachel has created a rich world of her own, drawing on earth's history, but changing enough to make it truly her own creation and stop the reader filling in any blanks.
The characters cover the gamut of humanity, including the dark underbelly that we often prefer to ignore. Rachel has carefully trodden the line of what is necessary for dramatic tension and resolution without straying into gratuitous violence, gore and depravity. The main protagonist is a unusual young woman, but she too has her flaws, making her all the more believable.
There are few people I wouldn't recommend this too: an excellent debut novel.
