Something is hunting the inhabitants of Ravar
For three generations, the colonists on Ravar have been stranded on a harsh planet, forced to survive in a desert environment where only the scrappiest animals and the heartiest plants survive. Most live without the foolish hope that Earth's supply ships will ever grace the skies again.
Trapped in a sandstorm, Neena Xylance struggles to make her way back to her colony. What she doesn't know is that she isn't alone, and what she finds might destroy the last of the fragile life on her planet.

Sandstorm
The story is both exciting and well-told.
I struggled with some of the character's dialogue, both in age representation and formality.
In my experience, “spoken” language presents as more informal than written language. Also, younger children have a charming way of speech that is left behind as they grow older. For example, during a stressful interchange, it would be unlikely for a younger child to utter, “It seems as if he may be dead.”
The author might have lunch or something with an age-designated group of children and note the average number of words per sentence and consider if “it seems as if ---” is even in their developmental arena.
Otherwise, I liked SANDSTORM.

A very good story.
Undeniably one of the best series I have read. After finishing the first book so quickly, I couldn’t resist buying the last 3. There may be some awkward sentences that may confuse the reader without a second glance, but regardless the Story was immersive and worth reading.
