A review by ros_lanta
Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri

3.5

Empire of Sand is a plot-focused fantasy romance with plenty of interesting worldbuilding.  It's a very fast read, I started it in the afternoon and had it finished by early the following morning. 

Overall it was a decent book but I didn't love it. I think the main problem is that I didn't really connect to the characters or get invested in the romance. I do know other people who love this book so I know this disconnection isn't true for every reader. 

Content warning for

a rape scene in this book, albeit one in which the two people are both forced into it against their will.
