In Fearsome Dreamer, Europe
is transformed into a dark, alternate world. England has become Angle Tar – a rural,
technophobic country holding its own against the mass of other nations who have
signed up to the new technological advances. While it has the premise of being
a very interesting story, I found it hard to connect with.
Fearsome Dreamer starts
off slow and unfortunately I didn’t feel that it really picked up at any point.
At the very first instance we’re introduced to Rue, a young witch’s apprentice,
and while her early story was interesting I soon found myself skipping her
chapters in favour of White’s. All in all though, I couldn’t connect with the
characters.
The back of the book synopsis hints at a romance between
White and Rue and I felt like a lot of the story was a difficult plot with the
sole objective being to bring them together for the romance towards the end. It
was glaringly obvious throughout that the book was part of a series, and while
I’m sure it did a great job of setting up for the rest of the series, it was
unable to stand on it’s own feet.
My review of this book feels disjointed, and honestly a lot
of that is because the book felt disjointed. I can’t coherently seem to write
my thoughts about it. I was expecting a solid four star book, and I found
myself reading a two star. It was disappointing.
I’ll still read the sequel, because Fearsome Dreamer did do an excellent job of setting up some
questions that will niggle at me until I know the answers.
2/5 stars.
