For readers who loved the underdog element of the Hunger Games and the romance of the Shatter Me series Sands of Ruin is an emotional, action-packed story of courage, the fight for what is right, and fierce love.
The stakes are high in this YA dystopian series that shattered my heart in way too many pieces. ðŸ˜ðŸ’” Thais.
I loved the world building and character development in this book, there is lots of great action, a slow burn romance, found family (literally and figuratively), and of course, an oppressive regime that needs to be ousted. If you're looking for your next dystopian thriller, I highly recommend this book. Liz
