Another year, another Song of Shattered Sands book! We’re finally approaching the climax of the series. So how does the fifth volume pan out?
Due to some personal circumstances, I had to wait a lot longer than I wanted to before I could read A Veil of Spears. Fortunately, it was worth the wait--this third installment of the Song of Shattered Sands is my favorite of the series so far.
You might conclude from my review of Twelve Kings in Sharakhai that I loved the book and the world Beaulieu created. You would be correct. So it will come as no surprise to learn that on the release day for With Blood Upon the Sand, I waltzed to my local B&N, impatiently made them go get a copy from the back, and then waltzed back home to start reading it (despite the enormous stack of "To Reads" currently sitting on my shelf).
Believe it or not, I almost walked past this one. While I do keep up with my favorite authors and read recommendations, I find a lot of new books/authors simply by skimming the SF/F section at my local Barnes & Noble. They had Twelve Kings in Sharakhai, but the title didn't grab me. I bought other books, I left. This happened two or three times before I finally picked up the book, read the blurb and decided to give it a whirl.
