Eden and her mother lives alone outside the village. They make a living by creating potions from the plants her mother grows in their garden. They are treated with suspicion by the villagers because they are thought to use magic. But Eden has a secret...while she can not dream herself she can see peoples dreams. Trying to figure out the cause she collects the dreams in jars and writes down the details. Other than this fact her life is pretty mundane until one day a talking sentient cloud appears before her claiming to investigating the theft of "dream dust". Things get only stranger from there when a young man appears in her bedroom and she has her first dream...a nightmare.

Who is he? Why does the cloud think she is a Dreamer?

Maybe all her questions can be answered if she goes to Dream world,the place where the magical creatures who weave dreams for every humans live...


I have to agree with another reviewer that the depictions of Dreamworld in its pastel pink glory did remind me of 80s/90s cartoons like for example Lady Lovely Locks ,and I think the plot would lend itself well to animation.

A cute read with enough drama and darkness to keep it from being too cloingly sweet. It could benefit from some editing and perhaps certain side characters could have benefited from a bit more depth. But in all a pleasant enough read.… (más)

I really enjoyed this novel. It was a romantic story that really showed an interesting world. I liked the writing style, I found it sucked me in and kept me reading. I am really interested in reading other books from this author because I think they would be really good.

That being said, I wanted more from this story. I wish the story had been a little longer, just so there was enough time for things to develop and be explored. There was a lot crammed into these pages, so it ended up feeling a little rushed. I don't think I got a good sense of the characters, it actually took most of the book before I really got invested in their story. What kept me going was the writing style and the curiosity about the world and how things would play out, it would have been perfect if the characters had been a bit better.

The way time moved in the story was interesting. I don't think I have quite seen a story written with time jumps like this. I'm sure they exist, I just haven't read them. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I do like having that retrospective look at the story. It gave it a certain tone that I felt was different. If things had been linear perhaps the issue of not feeling connected to the characters would have been different, but the story would have had a different tone, so I don't know which I would have preferred. I think with the time jumps it had a sort of secretive feel to it. Which worked well with the story. I think one or two of the time jumps was a little difficult for me to remember how much time had passed, but that is a fault of my own for not remembering.

I wanted to see more of the world explored. Most of the focus was placed on the interaction between the characters, so I didn't really get a good sense of the magic system, or how all of the politics worked between people. I think I was just so interested in every aspect of the story that I wanted to know far more than was necessary for this book.

Also, I would have liked to see more of the fairytale elements in it. I love fairytale retellings and that was why I was drawn to this story to begin with. I just didn't see enough of them within the story for me to get a strong sense of those original tales. However, this story was still a good story that did have those things mixed in, it just didn't feel like a retelling. If you didn't know they were there, you probably could have missed them. However, I think the story was good without them. Too much would have changed this story into something it didn't need to be.

Overall, this was a cute romance story with a lot of interesting twists. I felt like there was a lot to like about it, even if I would have liked to see a bit more from it. Like I said, I really liked the writing style and plan to read more from this author.

I read an ARC of this book for free, and I am voluntarily leaving this review.… (más)

This book lives up to what you would expect from its blurb. It's quite funny. As you might expect, the love spell doesn't go quite right, and... well, Rosie discovers what she really wants in the process.

It's a little rare that an author can produce serious stories (the others in this series), and a quite funny story, but Peters pulls this off quite well.

This book is notable also in helping us know Prince Liam better, who turns out to be a really wonderful character in many ways. (He's the male lead in the next novel, which is my favorite of the series.) Here he appears primarily as a goofball; in the first book, he was the ever-helpful but goofy guy who saved the would-be princess from many a faux paus.… (más)
