I had really high expectations for this book but I honestly didn't love it. It was a bit of a fever dream? The plot itself (finding out why these dream things take over and trying to find a way to stop them, while main character tries to recover his memories) wasn't bad, but for much of the story the characters were stuck in these dreams. I didn't find it interesting to read about them navigating the dreams or unraveling them; I didn't particularly care whose dream they were in or why a character who was irrelevant/unknown to me was having an issue that would cause the dream. I also didn't find the main characters very interesting or likeable, including the main character Kane. Honestly Poesy, the evil drag queen, was my favorite character despite them being, well, evil (you know, misguided). Overall, it was okay but I don't really think it was for me.
