Rating: 4/5 stars
An ARC of this book was provided through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Possible spoiler ahead!
The Diviners are the new sensation, especially Evie, the Sweetheart Seer, who has her own radio show and a crowd of fans waiting for her to tell them their secrets. However, not everything is good. A new sickness, the sleeping sickness, is spreading through the city. People simply go to sleep and then never wake up again.
To go directly to the point: it was a lovely book and it left me terrified to go to sleep. But I didn’t feel it as strongly as The Diviners. There is less action and I felt things were resolved too easily (if they were resolved at all. Maybe not. You never know).
One thing that displeased me was the lack of Evie and Memphis. They are definitely my favorites and, Memphis especially, almost doesn’t show up. I liked the new addition to our Diviners team, Ling, a Dream Walker like Henry. Speaking of Henry: poor baby. I just wanted to wrap him up in a blanket and give him nice things.
Sam is a character that also gets attention in this book. His story is interesting and the whole mystery surrounding him and his family is taken to a new level in the narrative. I’m looking forward to knowing what is going to happen with him and where the whole Paranormal Department is going to take us. The ending hinted at bigger things to come and new mysteries to be solved in relation to him and his family.
The dreams walks in this book were lovely and helped Henry find some answers to his past. However, I did not enjoy the mystery too much, because, for me, it was not mysterious at all. It was well-developed, interchanging Ling’s and Henry’s dream walks to their lives outside of dreams and how one was connected to the other.
I love the mention to Gemma Doyle and how the two stories are in the same verse. It opens up lots of new possibilities.
The only thing I can say with certainty that I did not like at all was exactly the same thing that I disliked in the first book: the love triangle. The book could certainly do without it and it wouldn’t miss a thing. Maybe Libba Bray will prove me wrong in the future, but for now I really don’t like it.
Over all, I really recommend it. It is a great continuation to a great series.
