Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Race the Sand by Sarah Beth Durst



Socks knocked off!  I have read Queen of Blood, The Reluctant Queen,  The Queen of Sorrows, The Deepest Blue and Spark all by Durst.  She never ceases to impress me but this book really grabbed me by the throat and shook me.   Perhaps it is the climate we are currently living in with lots of depression and fear but this book was a burning light of hope and redemption.  A tough trainer, a loving mother, a runaway and a kingdom in disarray are the characters and the setting.  

Durst shows that entrenched bureaucracy however enlightened may conspire to spread mediocrity as a means to hold power.   Reincarnation and auras are tools that promote the story.   To me, the building of self-confidence, the belief in one self and loved ones, the awareness that recognition of self-worth may be frightening to petty and venal despots are fruits of this splendid learning tree.   A learning tree because reading this may help kids and adults realize that their dreams are important and that holding on to dreams and persevering to success is possible.

Well done Durst, well done, I feel the wind in my face and the sand in face!

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
