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.
