Criticize Regarding Books Secrets of the Sands (Children of the Desert #1)
It's rare I actually would describe a book as "amazing", but I really, thoroughly enjoyed this one. Completely engaging with multiple main characters (and the promise of some of the lesser characters becoming more fleshed out in the future). The world Wisoker created is no less compelling than her characters -- just enough magical aspects to turn it into a fantasy novel, but drawing on enough of the world we know to make it seem real.Also? I loved that I was unsure how to feel about each

http://bastardbooks.blogspot.com/2011...Secrets of the Sands is Leona Wisoker's debut novel, first of the Children of the Desert series. Book came out last year in 2010, and it's published by Mercury Retrograde Press. Secrets of the Sands was one of my favorite reads last year, and if there's one book out there that I think should be read, or at least tried, by more people it's this one.The most important aspect of this book is that it was quite evident that Leona Wisoker is a very talented and

First half was good, 4 stars. Second half, not so much. The plot began meandering a lot...2 stars. Averaged it out to 3. Could have missed the Alyea parts and just stuck with Idiso to be honest.

While there was nothing stunning or original, Wisoker managed to sidestep a lot of the cliche pitfalls I was worried about. Good enough that I will probably read the second.

First things first, I finished this book in about two days, so it's definitely not a bad book.But somehow I was disappointed after finishing it. I tried to figure out why by going through the book in my head; The setting is interesting, the world building decent, the characters likable and reasonably well defined for a first book in a series. Then what's the problem you ask?Well, I think it's the fact that nothing actually seems to happen in most of the book and every plot seems to end with a

"Secrets of the Sands" is a great adventure story, one of the more entertaining reads I've picked up in awhile. The story follows two main POVs, both of which are entertaining enough that you don't find yourself wishing the author would just switch to the *action* already. The plot is unpredictable, enough so that what the characters think they'll be doing on their journeys is constantly getting screwed up by actual events. There's also a hint of destiny about what's going on, though it's fairly

This was surprisingly good! Good enough to send me immediately to a library not in my neighborhood to pick up the next in the series.
