Secrets of the Sands by Leona Wisoker

5.0

Excellent fantasy novel--original with wonderful world-building and fascinating multi-faceted characters who almost walk off the page into your room. Author has created multiple rich cultures and back-history, with beauty, squalor, pain and humor throughout the story.

Highly recommended to all epic-fantasy fans. Smaller scale than Song of Ice and Fire series but the politics, culture, machinations, and characters will likely appeal to those fans, as well as to readers wanting something just a little off the beaten track of the fantasy genre, with more political and psychological jockeying than violence.
