A review by krilllian
Empire of Sand by Tasha Suri
4.0
A book about women, magic, consent, empire, romance, and relationships, Empire of Sand is an enchanting read. Suri creates a magic system full of life, with dance, daggers, and Daiva - magical spirits that inhabit the desert.
Empire of Sand tells the story of Muhr, a young woman kept secluded in her Governor father's household, despite her mixed heritage making her more of an outcast than a true noblewoman. Muhr's journey takes her through a series of impossible choices, each time testing what she values more.
The characters in this book, and the romance that is central to the plot, are beautifully written and I consumed this book wanting to know what would happen to them. While some of the plot could have been a bit more fleshed out to make it more believable for the reader, I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fantasy that will transport you to a city on the edge of a desert full of magic and mystery.
