alobearI had been looking forward to the release of the next in The Dreamer series by Maggie Stiefvater, but fell victim to the issue of not being able to remember pertinent details from the first one - and there are a lot of things to remember and try to make sense of!
Still, I love the audiobook narrator of these books (even with his very dodgy English accent for the sections from Hennessey or Jordan's point of view!) and it was great to spend more time in this world again.
It did all feel a bit nebulous, though - nothing much seemed to actually happen throughout, though there were a lot of very significant revelations and events towards the end that managed to pull it all together. And I'm definitely still intrigued and engaged enough to continue with the series when it comes out.
As with The Raven Chronicles, it's the character interactions and emotional journeys that keep me coming back for more. Here, I missed the further exploration of Ronan's relationship with Adam, but it was good to spend more time with Declan, and I loved the development of the connection between Jordan and Matthew, as dreams trying to find their independence.
So, a lot to like, some things to scratch my head over - and plenty more to discover and enjoy in the continuation of the series.
