kittyg 's review for:
Of Sand and Malice Made
by Bradley P. Beaulieu
* I was sent this for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review *
I knew I would almost certainly enjoy this when I got it becuase I LOVED Twelve Kings by Bradley Beaulieu and within this we are following the same main character of Çeda. Çeda is a younger version in this book becuase this is a prequel to Twelve Kings, but already from her adventure we can start to see the young woman she becomes in the later book.
This has some beautiful illustrations at the start of each part (there are three parts) and tells a story which is interconnected in each part. The three tales all form one overall story of Çeda's encounter with a demon-like creature who takes a liking to her. This is definitely not good for Çeda and her friends who all become quickly enmeshed in trying to escape the creature and the story goes on from there.
What I liked about this is it's a super quick and easy read. It's only about 200pgs which means that it's fast to enjoy and get to the action, but it also means it doesn't have the same emotional levels as we have in Twelve Kings. This was fine for me as I expected that due to the length, and the fun nature of the story and already knowing the character made up for that.
Overall this is a super fun little read and one I would definitely recommend. I look forward to book #2 in the Twelve Kings series even more now as I've read this one and I hope it comes soon :) 3.5*s overall!
