Book Description
It’s night. Always night. Dreams guard against the evil forged by nightmares. Infinite shooting stars illuminate a moonless sky. A city stands alone, surrounded by a darkened field. On its fringes, a man watches one star separate from the masses and fall. What survives the crash will unveil a secret centuries long hidden. Molly hasn’t slept well since the night of her twenty-fourth birthday. Being struck by lightning might have something to do with it, but then again, her chicken did look a little undercooked at dinner. Whatever the culprit, her life quickly catapults from mundane to insane as, night after night, Molly is transported through her once dreamless sleep to a mysterious land illuminated by shooting stars. There she meets the captivating but frustrating Dev, and together they discover Molly possesses a power coveted by his people—the ability to conjure almost anything she desires into existence. Seduced by the possibilities of this gift, Molly shifts her attention from waking life toward the man, the magic, and the world found in her dreams. But Molly must ask herself—does something truly exist if you only see it when you close your eyes? Faced with the threat of losing everything—her job, best friend, boyfriend, and most importantly, that little thing called her sanity—Molly will learn just how far she’ll go to uncover what is real and what is merely a figment of her imagination.
My Thoughts
Thanks to some of my friends over
on Instagram I found out about The Dreamland Series and I’m so glad it
happened. Where do I start? Maybe with the covers? Aren’t they gorgeous?
Definitely something that caught my attention from the very beginning. Then, all
the amazing things I kept hearing and reading about the books and then when you
read the Synopsis of the first book, a very unique and different idea for a
book. A person who possess an extraordinary power, who seems to live a life
when she is awake, her reality and when she is asleep, her dreams. Made me want
to know how is that possible, especially for Molly who could not remember what
she dreamt about, not until her 24 Birthday when she gets struck by a lightning
and her life changes and she starts having these dreams.
In terms of the story, I
absolutely loved it and enjoyed it a lot. It amazed me how wonderfully
described and well-built is the world the Author introduces us to. I loved how
when showing us Molly and her dreams, the places she goes, the things she sees,
it feels magical, almost as if I was there with her.
As to the characters, something
very interesting happened to me with this book. I always tend to like one of
the characters better than the others, or there is always one that I don’t like
at all but with The Dreamer I feel each character brings something unique and
fresh to the story that it was almost impossible for me to pick one or dislike
them. I liked Molly’s and Becca’s friendship and I also liked the relationship
between Molly and Jared and I think this love triangle between Molly, Dev and
Jared is a very interesting one that I cannot wait to know more about on the
second book.
In terms of the book, I loved the
writing style, just the right pace for me, not boring at all, liked how
well-developed the characters are and as I mentioned before the world building
is wonderful, how we go from Molly’s real world to Molly’s world when she is
dreaming.
If you haven’t picked this Series, please do, you won’t
regret it. I totally recommend it. A well written story, great characters and a
beautifully crafted world.
Many, many thanks to the Author, E.J. Mellow for kindly send me a copy of the book for review.
