Dreamwalker by C.S. Friedman
4.0
I won this ARC book for free from Goodreads First Read.
This was a good book. I found the characters to be interesting. I've always loved alt. world adventure.
The main character, Jesse, has problems at home. She comes from a broken home. Her mother works long, long hours and her father has left the picture.
She is an artist and she uses her dreams to fuel her art. One day, her art teacher wants her to meet a person that wants to buy her paintings.
Jesse's spidey senses go off and she pulls all her art from school.
Soon after, the weird starts and her family is endangered. Plus, her brother is taken by a strange being.
So she must travel through a portal to rescue him with the help of two others with similar weird happening in their lives.
There she meets a plethora of characters and beings in a world so unlike her own.
As I said this was good. Every once in a while, there were some bits that were too out there in my opinion. Also I did get lost in a couple of places.
But the kicker that just tore up my reading jive of the book was the first paragraph in chapter 12. It completely went second pov. You this and that. WTH?! I was totally into the book and then that happened. It felt like my brain hit a wall with that sudden shift. Jarring is a mild term.
Other than that, the world was interesting, the people were pretty unique. I wonder if Isaac will make another appearance? I really like him. He had that dash of villainy that I like characters to have.
