Darkbeast Rebellion Morgan Keyes 9781442442085 Books

I read and loved the first book in this series, DARKBEAST. I was fascinated by the world the author created, which was so well drawn it seemed as real as ours. I loved meeting the young protagonist, Keara, and her darkbeast, the crow that was supposed to take all her sins for her. (And who had as much personality as any of the human characters.)

DARKBEAST REBELLION continues Keara's story as she flees with Caw and her new friend Goran and his grandfather Taggart, Travelers she met on the road after she ran away from her village, the only place she'd ever known. Keara and the others had refused to kill their darkbeasts on their 12th birthdays, and so were outlaws, running for their lives.

This new book is filled with action, mystery, unexpected friendships and even more unexpected betrayals. It is a fast and easy read, suitable for the most reluctant young reader while still satisfying the needs of an adult who just loves fantasy worlds, great characters, and an interesting story.

Highly recommended. (You'll also want to go back and read the first one, if you haven't done that yet.) Morgan Keyes is one to watch.

Darkbeast Rebellion Morgan Keyes 9781442442085 Books Reviews

Keara, Goran and Taggart are on the run. Since none of them killed their darkbeasts at the age of twelve, they are breaking the law. They are being hunted by the Inquisitors who are determined to find these heretics and bring them to justice.

When the story begins, the trio is following rumors of a group of people called Darkers. She are traveling in the winter, in a deep forest, and they have run out of food. Luck has them locate a group of Darkers but something about them just doesn't seem right to Keara. She is right to be suspicious. They are fakes set up by the Inquisitor Ducis to trap those who don't kill their darkbeasts.

Keara, Goran and Taggart are taken to the Primate's city Lutecia and put under control of the Inquisitor Ducis who happens to be the Primate's son. There they meet the Primate's younger son who is now his heir. Dillon is a frustrated scholar who will soon have to give up his scholarship and learn the work of the Primate. He and his brother use Keara, Goran, and Taggart in a sort of tug of war for power.

They manage to escape again, this time taking Dillon along with them, and make their way to an actual outpost of Darkers. Taggart and Goran fit right in and are voted as members of the community but Keara has a harder time of it.

This was an exciting story that was filled with danger and adventure. I liked Keara's relationship with her darkbeast Caw and I liked that she was still struggling with pride, impatience and other faults despite Caw's guidance.

Fans of fantasy novels will enjoy this sequel to DARKBEAST and hope that there are more adventures coming.
I was captivated by Morgan Keyes' original 2012 "Darkbeast" novel, and was very eager to read the follow-up, "Darkbeast Rebellion". It was all I'd hoped for.

If you haven't read "Darkbeast" yet, you certainly must. This will introduce you to the three key human characters in "Rebellion". There's Keara of Silver Hollow, the story's narrator, the twelve-year-old who flouts convention and runs away from her home village. There's Goran Trader, another twelve-year-old, as close to Keara as a brother. And there's Taggart Trader, Goran's maternal grandfather, like an adoptive father to Keara.

The three have one crucial thing in common They have spared their darkbeasts, animal companions who have been mind-linked to them since the age of twelve days. According to the religious laws of the land of Duodecia, they should have sacrificed their animal friends on their twelfth birthday as a rite of passage to adulthood -- but, out of friendship and love, they could not bring themselves to do it.

(Keara's companion, a magnificent black raven named Caw, with an insatiable, "ravenous" appetite, is the fourth major protagonist, an important character in his own right.)

At the start of "Darkbeast Rebellion", the three humans and their companions are fleeing from the Inquisition in bitter cold, winter weather. Keara is so numb she is ready to lie down and die, while Taggart is developing a dangerous cough -- he is getting a bit too old for this kind of punishment. Goran, to encourage Keara, gives her a precious gift, a bracelet which once belonged to his mother. This plays an important role throughout the rest of the story.

The three humans are seeking a rumored place of refuge deep in the woods inhabited by Darkers, other rebels who have also spared their darkbeasts and are in hiding. Morgan's writing is so vivid that I found myself shivering -- never mind it was a lovely 80-degree day outside, and my room was getting a bit stuffy.

Our friends find their refuge early in the story, but right away Keara is worried Caw senses that the telepathic bonds between their rescuers and their darkbeasts don't feel "right". Keara tries to warn her friends, but they don't see any problem. They fail to understand why she won't warm to the others.

Soon enough, things will get very, very interesting, in an alarming sort of way.

Some scenes get really intense. Surely, I kept thinking, in a book geared towards readers age 10 through 14, nothing really horrible will happen to our friends. Surely. But what if something does? I couldn't put the book down, wondering what would happen next.

One of the most important themes of this book, and its predecessor, is loyalty. First of all, there is the bond between human and darkbeast. This will prove to be a crucial test for a certain character later in the book. But then, there is loyalty between humans, strained by acts of betrayal on the part of others.

Keara will meet someone who appears to be an ally, but this time it's Taggart and Goran who don't trust him. And for good reason -- he's in a very good position to hurt them badly, should he so choose. But will he? Will Keara side with him against her friends? Will they ever find a place where they can be truly safe? Will they be allowed to stay?

Everything that was in the first novel is present in the second Warm, believable protagonists, but also very believable villains. And that very vivid style of writing. While I could anticipate how the story would end, it still left me happy, and wanting more.

I do hope there will be a third book in this series.
This book is like the life blood of a library. A definite must read for all ages. Please read this because it`s awesome
My 10 year old daughter loves this series. She had a little trouble getting into it. After reading a review in highlights magazine (how cute is that) she gave it another try and got sucked in. Could not put them down. Love it when that happens.
