Rebels: City of Indra: The Story of Lex and Livia (1) Paperback – November 15, 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
In a world of the far future, the great City of Indra has two faces: a beautiful paradise floating high in the sky, and a nightmare world of poverty carved beneath the surface of the Earth.
Lex grew up in an orphanage deep in the dark. But even as a child, she instinctively rebelled against her fate—the time when she would be judged either useful to Society or forced to live among the mutations in Rock Bottom, the lowest level. When she is chosen to become an elite cadet of the Population Control Forces, only her fellow cadet Kane truly understands her longing for freedom.
Unknown to her, one girl secretly shares her defiance. Livia Cosmo, the Orphan Airess, may live on a sky island surrounded by wealth and privilege, but she is just as restricted as Lex. Rigid discipline governs her every movement, as she learns the art of becoming a Proper Young Woman, the belle of the Emergence Ball, ready to be picked for “cohabitation” by the finest of the Proper Young Men. Her future is assured, until an intriguing encounter with a young man named Kane changes everything.
For that is when Lex’s and Livia’s destinies collide….
Approached by an old enemy to help save Kane from mortal danger, Lex sacrifices her Special Ops career to find him in the Islands among the clouds. Her search, high above in the beautiful spires of the City of Indra, brings her instead to the airgirl Livia. Lex and Livia should have nothing in common, and yet they share a kindred yearning for escape from the strict rules that bind them...and a mystifying identical mark. Brought together by danger, they set out to find Kane, but what they discover is even stranger than either dreams.

And while I'm not too impressed with the First Person Rotational point of view that this story uses, I still couldn't help but be captured by this story and the adventure of the Twins!
Sure, some of the twists were predictable right off the bat, and many times I found myself laughing at certain cheesy situations, but I honsestly also foubd myself rooting for them the entire way!
Overall, I'd give this story 4.5/5 ! I was thrilled, captivated, and along for the ride! Can't wait to start the second book!
Look, I'm not going to sit here and lie to you and act like I've gotten all the way through this thing, which as the only novel heretofore published by the youngest Kardashian/Jenner sisters technically qualifies as their "magnum opus," even if they didn't write it themselves. I assume they didn't write it not because the quality is too good - it's not, but really it is about the same as all of the other YA dystopian nonsense out there - but because their own authorship would reduce the cynicism of the exercise to levels I find unlikely for the Kardashian clan. Authorship, even lousy authorship, requires sincerity, an emotion whose display is I believe altogether impossible for Homo economicus kardashianus.
On to the writing. Wow, there are some howlers here. Videlicet chapter 1: "Veda is an anomaly, too. Horses have not existed for centuries, but my father successfully bred them in his labs." I mean... just... how is this allowed? I recognize that we live in an ultracapitalist terrorsphere where people are free to pay for whatever trash their heart desires (GUILTY), but how in the year 2014 are we tolerating fiction that includes statements like this? Horses have not EXISTED for CENTURIES... but her father BRED THEM IN HIS LABS (MULTIPLE). This sentence takes place approximately 4% of the way into the book and it was at this point that I threw my kindle across the room, where it may stay forever. I'm taking deep breaths. Going to open a bottle of wine, put some Chopin on and try to maintain. Urge to kill falling.
