Dream Paris by Tony Ballantyne
4.0
Dream Paris is the sequel to Dream London, a book that I read this year and thoroughly enjoyed...although I didn't quite understand everything that happened.
I feel the same way about Dream Paris. Even when confused, I was entranced by the world that Ballantyne created. His attention to detail is amazing, his imagination stunning.
I also have to commend him for the fact that he didn't spend a lot of time reviewing the story of Dream London. Whenever a character in a book is a bit unclear or vague about the details of Dream London, the main character states, "you weren't there, you don't know what it was like." The message is clear...if you want the back story, read the previous book. Nothing drives me more crazy than when an author spends half a sequel catching a lazy reader up with what they have missed. So, kudos to you Tony.
So...long story short. I enjoy the writing. I admire the author. I don't understand the storyline 100%, but I don't care. I really hope that there is a 3rd book.
