the premise of the book is interesting but I spent the whole time waiting for the author to explain more about the history of the world, or how magic works, or even just who the the sandwalkers are and why the main character hates them. Instead everything except ridiculous anime style fighting, cheesy dialog and sex scenes was entirely glossed over. The result is a rather boring book that proved a struggle to finish. i feel this is a shame because the story has a lot of potential and could have been a real gem. also the narrator has an annoying voice.
