The Vault of Dreamers
by Caragh M. O'Brien
I’ve read the Birthmarked trilogy by the author, so I was very excited to read her latest. I liked Vault of Dreamers, but I think a little more world building and a stronger ending would’ve made me like this book a whole lot more. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed the concept and the characters, but something seemed missing.
Rosie was relatable and I felt like her characterization was realistically done. Rosie isn’t perfect and she doesn’t try to be. However, I admired the way she was willing to risk her future to find out what exactly was going on at night in the Forge School. The secondary characters were great too and I would like to know more about Burnham and Linus in future books.
I needed a little more world building, especially since I had a hard time picturing the school. I also wanted more of an explanation on how some of the scientific processes were done. The book is set in the future, but I wanted to know more about how that future came about. The ending was also a little confusing and a major cliffhanger. I don’t mind cliffhangers, but with that kind of conclusion, I hope the release will be somewhat soon.
Overall, I enjoyed the writing and I thought the plot was unique. There is a lot of room for growth in the series and I do plan to read the follow-up.
Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
Thanks to the publisher for a copy of the novel for review!
