-★★★✬☆- (3.25/5.00)
My Grading Score = 65% (C+)
The prologue starts off very gruesome with what had occurred at the end of the previous entry and then it hops into a flashback following another character that was one of the three main character of the previous entry as well. Then, it hops over to following a new character that is the apprentice to two out of three of the previous main characters for most, if not the rest of the book.
With all that being said, the number of perspective changes this time around was quite a lot. It took me a while to get used to this way of storytelling, but it didn't bother me as much as I thought it was as it stayed quite straightforward for the most part even when this occurred. The pacing was all over the place when it came to the entry, mostly on the faster-paced side of things, especially in comparison to Breach of Peace. The final quarter of the book was even more action-packed than Breach of Peace's ending. I can also tell through this one that the conflict, action, and especially the fight scenes have improved, so that's a plus as well.
Daniel B. Greene's Prose
I can see an improvement in Daniel's prose. The narration had little to no profanity, which is a plus to me as I'm not a fan of the voice of the narrator doing that often, I don't care what the vibe of the book is. His style in regards to explaining things and actions of the characters I felt was also a tad more refined as well.
Verdict
Rebel's Creed was a tad of a step to its predecessor, Breach of Peace, in almost every aspect. I feel like if you liked Breach of Peace, then you should definitely be able to get enjoyment out of this one as well. I am looking forward to reading future entries.
