Sands of Sirocco by Annabelle McCormack
5.0
Sands of Sirocco is stunning WW1 fiction like I’ve never read before. If you love books filled with mystery, intrigue, and romance you need to pick this one up! I usually read books set during WW2 so this was a great learning opportunity!
First, the setting. This story is set in Egypt. I’ve never read a WW1 novel set in Egypt and I learned so much! There are fantastic historical facts woven into the storyline. It was eye opening to read about the unrest happening in the Middle East.
Second, the characters! So, this is a sequel, and I have not read the first book, but I still was able to follow the relationships in the story. I was thrown right into Ginger and Noah’s relationship and even though I never got to see it start I was able to feel the love they had for each other. I loved them both. Ginger is fiery and smart. Noah is passionate and loyal.
This story is full of twists and turns and I never knew what was going to happen next! I definitely recommend it!
*I received a gifted copy of this book and my opinions are all my own.
