I did not know what to expect going into this sequel, but wow it delivered!!! The dark academia elements came back in full blast, almost more so as we get to experience more of the College of Llyr. Reid has such an atmospheric voice in her writing, and it creates an incredibly unique style in her story telling. Preston and Effy have carved a special place in my heart (and dreams) as they each faced incredible challenges in A Theory of Dreaming. Man, it got rough in there, but Reid approached the darker themes with elegance and highlighted the importance of the topics. I loved getting to hear more of Preston’s experience, and like Effy’s story last book— we get to see him have quite a few breakthroughs. I think this sequel is a stand-out, and I am so glad Effy and Preston’s story was expanded upon!! This book will sit perfectly with fans of A Study in Drowning, and those who adore a rich, dark tale.
