review 1: Howey has done it again! I didn’t know what to expect with the Sand series. I purchased the omnibus edition but in the description advised that Howey said he felt it is better to read in parts. So, I am reading one then another book before going to the next one. Not sure there is any difference just putting it out there. Howey has created another deep world with deeply complex characters. Sand,the title of the series is a character itself. There is so much depth. Howey creates different terms for the sand that includes footnotes. It makes the story so much more complex. The first part concentrates on sand divers. This is such a cool twist making people who go under the sand comparable to sea divers. The sand changes consistency with the help of the divers sui... moret. As they dive they find pieces of our world that have been buried by the sand for a long time. I am very excited to read the rest of the series. So far it is 5 star.
review 2: When I see there's a new Hugh Howey story out, my brain screams drop-everything-you-are-doing-and-read-this-RIGHTNOW. Howey's work is an instabuy for me. I fell in love with the Wool stories and have been a huge fan ever since. One of my favorite things about Howey's work is the way the reader is fully immersed in a strange new world, right from the first sentence. In this case, it's a world covered in sand. People who work as sand divers wear special suits that allow them to "dive" through the sand to scavenge artifacts from buried cities. The Belt of the Buried Gods focuses on a pair of sand divers hired by a group of mercenaries to find a legendary ancient city. Palmer and Hap successfully complete the job they were hired to do, but things get complicated. Read this. less
