Reborn #4
Heretic
Rhys has been abandoned on Pluto, cast off by Snow for learning the truth about Amy and her Starat Freedom Union. Their target is clear.
Terra is in mortal danger and Rhys is the only one who knows about the coming peril. But he is just one starat, voiceless in an empire of ignorance.
Rhys must find new allies to help him as he delves back into the heartland of the empire, desperate to save the people who would rather him dead. If he is to succeed, he must uncover the secrets behind the empire and the Vatican on Mars.
All the while, a familiar torment stalks him.

About the author
J.F.R. Coates
20 books54 followersJ.F.R. Coates is a speculative fiction author, focusing in fantasy and science fiction. Her work tends to focus away from the human characters of the setting, instead giving life to the creatures that dwell alongside the familiar. From dragons and gryphons, to creatures of her own creation - like the ailur or starat - these story worlds are full of fascinating creatures to get to know.
Born and raised in picturesque Somerset, England, J.F.R. Coates moved to Brisbane in Australia as a teenager. She grew up reading from a young age, starting with Enid Blyton's The Famous Five and Secret Seven, before finding her calling with J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Fantasy has gripped her ever since, and now she calls amongst her favourite authors Maggie Furey, Philip Pullman, and Robin Hobb.

A lot of bits on this book gave me doubts that it wouldnt finish as well as it did, and looking back at the whole series the Vatican is probably the weakest part of it.
however i liked it a lot, and was glad that there was no love triangle in this book.
This is my Twilight Saga, it might not be the best series ever written but damn i didnt have this much fun reading in a very long time.

What a delightful (and very action packed) ending to the series. This book shows a completely different perspective to the 3rd one, and introduces even more varied settings and characters, and still manages to wrap everything up very nicely.
The plot makes me think that there's some potential for future sequels, which would be really cool, but overall, it was a very satisfying and good conclusion to the series. The only nitpick I have is that the romance introduced in this book felt just a little... odd, and too abrupt, all things considered, but it didn't take away from the reading experience even in the slightest.
If you've read all the books so far, then I highly recommend reading this one too, it's quite a doozy.
