A review by tmarthal
The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters by Gordon Dahlquist

5.0

The characters were almost too real. Self-doubt, not knowing what is going on, yet still capable of things that surprise everyone including themselves (except the reader!). Inner-strength and self dialogues, make for a very interesting take on exposure to seemingly supernatural elements. Information movement, how certain people know certain things along with perspective shifts which make the reader understand exactly what is going on, all the while discovering the suspense unfolding as the plot moves on.

What I liked the most about this book is that each character approached situations completely differently. The bourgeois mentality is strong and people that default to physical violence is low. The ability for the seemingly oppressed to overthrow the yokes of their oppressors (I will leave it up to the reader to determine who is oppressed) is very well ascertained.
