This book was told in two alternating perspectives Saya who is a Dreamer who does not understand her gift and Indir a Dreamer who has lost the ability to dream. I liked that you were thrown right into this world -there were no backstory that went on forever chapters. I will say that Indir’s story took a lot longer for me to get into it. Saya’s story was always interesting to me. The Dream world seems to be full of spirits and offers some peaks into what is or what could be. The city of the Dreamers is in trouble though, the king has died and his son who was sent away to live with a violent and exiled people as a child to try to bring peace returns to take what he believes is his without peace in his mind at all. Saya’s mother uses her gift to pretend to be connected to the spirits herself, and this leads to them having to constantly be on the move as trouble catches up to them. I was disappointed when the story ended because while it was a slow start the end was exciting and I hate the idea of waiting a year plus for part two.
