I was hesitant to read this book due to all the talk in other reviews about lucid dreams. I am not a fan of dream sequences. I often get the feeling that they are used as a tool to include information when the author doesn't have another way of doing so. Usually, I feel tricked after reading a dream sequence and I roll my eyes in annoyance. If I get to the end of a book (or movie) only to find out the whole thing was a dream, I feel like I have wasted my time with a story that didn't even happen. It's just something that I don't enjoy at all. However, this book puts the fact that lucid dreaming will be a part of it out there from the beginning and I was unbothered by it.
I don't want to say too much about the story because I don't want to give anything away, but I will say that the writing is very good. I think Alex North is really good engaging the reader and making you wonder what is going on. The pacing is good and at no point was I bored or not caring what would happen. Due to this, the story went by quickly.
There were a few surprises in the story that I did not expect and also a couple of possibilities that I was glad the author steered clear of. Some of the story was more believable than other parts, but overall I thought it was an interesting story and I really enjoyed it.
This is the second book I have read by North. I decided to read this book after reading The Whisper Man recently. I loved that book and will continue to look for more of his work in the future. I look forward to seeing what he comes up with next.
