Indir and Saya are both Dreamers who need to learn important lessons to find a way through the chaos that has started in their world.
This was a fantastic first book that laid the foundation for what I hope will be an interesting series. It was a slow burn, but the story was written in a way that made me read until the end, by which point I was thinking “Oh no! It’s almost over!” There were a lot of names and characters, which I found hard to keep track of, but the story was rich and the world building was skillfully done. Looking forward to the next instalment!

I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
THE LOST DREAMER is a Young Adult fantasy by a queer Latina. This is a book unlike anything I have ever read before. I really liked the way the magic system was described. My rating is a three-star due to my own faults. I knew going into this that my brain does not react well when reading Fantasy books but I picked this up anyway. I think if you are an avid Fantasy reader, you will get more enjoyment out of this than I did. I also got confused by the dual perspective. Multiple times I would be halfway through a POV before realizing I was reading from the other character. This was by no means a bad book and I’m really interested to see what Lizz Huerta comes out with next!
