Forbes and Hays are a dream team. I just finished my third series, having consumed Covenant, Divine and now Rebellion. I have thoroughly enjoyed each. Forbes writes in a style that is compelling while being respectful to readers of any age. I am working my way through all of his work and would highly recommend it to anyone. Parents: the three series I mentioned above are much safer than anything on TV.
Hays is an amazing performer. Listening to his work is like closing your eyes when a movie is playing. He has so many different “characters” in his head it’s sometimes just as much fun when I am introduced to a new one.
