House of Sand and Secrets by Cat Hellisen

5.0

There’s a little book you may not have heard of, given the marketing strategies of certain publishers involve not marketing some titles. Cat Hellisen’s debut When the Sea Is Rising Red is a rather strange book, but one that I personally believe deserves a lot more hype than it actually got. I do see where it’s not a book that will work for everyone, but it’s truly original, daring, and utterly fantastical. House of Sand and Secrets leaves When the Sea Is Rising Red behind in quality, feels, and originality, an incredibly rare quality in a sequel indeed.
