The first few pages of the book are extremely confusing and it really set the tone, for me, up until the point that I DNFed. From the very first page of the book, we are thrust into a commotion, without any real explanation of what is happening or why. The problems with this book really start from the very beginning. The cover art was done by Charlie Bowater and it is absolutely stunning!

I will mention that I absolutely love the cover, however. I found it to be confusing and slow, as well as problematic in certain areas. Unfortunately, this turned out to be not really my cup of tea and I ended up DNFing it about 30 percent of the way through. I wasn’t entirely sure if it sounded like it was going to be my kind of thing, but after discussing it over with a friend, I decided to go for it and applied for ARC when they opened up. I was a bit on the fence about reading this book. Note: I received an ARC copy of this book from the author. So when Ali is discovered naked in his bedroom, how will she convince him of her intentions, as well as the danger? Prince Kovis Altairn, crown prince and the most powerful sorcerer in the Altairn Empire, knows nothing about Dream realm, let alone his sand maiden. But when the most powerful king in Dream realm sets his sights on her current charge, Prince Kovis Altairn, to exploit him in his quest to conquer Wake realm, Ali has no choice but to flee and pray the sovereign doesn’t hunt her down. She’s been doing it her entire immortal existence. Meet his counterpart, the Sand Maiden.Īlissandra thrills to help her human charges make sense of thoughts that need refinement, problems that need solutions, worries that beg for action, and things they should or shouldn’t have said, as she weaves their dreams.
