"Hidden Rebel "by Michelle Janene is book three of the "Changed Heart " series. I have read all three but I believed if you haven't read the other two, this would still be an enjoyable read if you like Christian medieval fantasy. This genre isn't my favorite but I did enjoy this series.

This novel has drama, excitement, danger, and adventure. I felt pulled between pity and disfavor toward Edmund and how his sons behaved. I know he was a single father but while reading I kept thinking as a King he should have better behaved sons but then I thought even kings are just men and not perfect. This is just a judgement call on my part and yes, I know we are not to judge, lest we be judge but since it is a book, readers are allowed to judge the characters. Right?  This fact is really just a small part of the book. 

I think this book in the series is my favorite because the story is about a female hero who is brave and is willing to die and believes it is her duty to do so in order to save her kingdom.

I really appreciate that this book expresses that God is really the Saviour when someone's life is saved and that Aria is just the tool He uses.  I also appreciate that the characters show fear but allow God to help them over come it. 

I really recommend this book even if you don't read the other two.

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.

More from Michelle

The main character of Hidden Rebel is a princess who is also a warrior. She needed to move between court and the battlefield with minimal issues. Aria also took the verse that women should not dress as men seriously. I wrote about a fighting skirt for her.

It appeared to be a pleated skirt with several long panels. Those panels weren’t sewn together other than at her hips. When Aria moved it was clear the skirt panels where over tight trousers and tall boots.

I thought about the skirt so much I created my own. I have worn it to local Renaissance Faires.

Thanks for your honest feedback. It bothers me when "strong" characters in books have badly behaved children. This would be true for a king, I think. If they can't raise their children to be honorable people, how can they lead a country?
