I loved how this book was a complete story but i am so excited for the next book in the series. I loved all the new info about the characters and the new characters that we met. I loved the dream world and how complex this world got. VERY GOOD READ! Lair of dreams: Spoiler Review I waited so long for this book and was so happy with it. The book is so long but so well written. It is a complex world but build so well. i really loved how drastic the tones and relationship of this book was, reading them back to back really accented this for me. I thought that this book really focused not the new mystery and also really increased the info we knew about all of the characters. i liked both meeting new diviners and learning old characters really did have powers like Sam. I sorted of guessed that from book one but it was nice to see it was really true. The books is so large and with large character list it is nice when they interact with new characters. I loved meeting the new characters and just the dream walking aspect was so cool to read about and also really creepy. I love this book and can't wait for the the third in this series. The books are long but worth the time commitment. Check out my video review of the first two books in the series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsxRC8a33nM Such a great book. I am so glad i re-read diviners. I loved how this book was a complete story but i am so excited for the next book in the series. I loved all the new info about the characters and the new characters that we met. I loved the dream world and how complex this world got. VERY GOOD READ! Like the first book, this one took me a little while to really get into but once I did I could not stop reading, which is good cause it helped me get out of my reading slump. If you like mystery and complex plots, pick this one up. If you like well developed diverse characters, pick this one up. If you like stories that take place in 1920s New York and involves the paranormal (i.e. ghosts), definitely pick this one up. I will say, this one didn't scare me or creep me out as much as the first one but it was still great. I don't want to keep comparing this one to the first one but it's kind of hard not to, especially since I re-read the first one before reading Lair of Dreams and I have to say the villains in both books are so good. They both completely different but so well written; the villain in The Diviners is so creepy and so easy to hate but in Lair of Dreams I just feel bad for the villain. It wasn't really their fault they turned out the way they did. If you don't typically like a lot of romance in stories (especially when they get in the way of the plot), then you'll love this series cause it's really light on the romance. Yes, the romance is there but it doesn't get in the way of the actual story and what's going on, it's just a small subplot of the story. I also love the ending. It wrapped up this story nicely but also gave us a bit of a cliffhanger, so you know there's more to come and I'm super excited to see where this story goes next.
*** 3 out of 5 stars Review by: Mark Palm Dreams and Nightmares The Diviners by Libba Bray was an exceptionally tense and scary YA novel that was essentially the story of Evie O’Neill, a young woman from a small town who ended up in the bustle of 1920’s New York, staying with her uncle, who operates the unusual Museum of American Folklore, Superstition and the Occult. There she meets a diverse crew of characters, and discovers that she has supernatural powers that help her Uncle solve the crimes committed by a serial killer who is more than he seems. Lair of Dreams takes up the story a bit later. Evie, now famous now for her talents, is a radio star called The Sweetheart Seer, and is trying to stay atop the fiercely competitive world of showbusiness any way that she can. Most of the supporting cast from the first book is back, and it is large and diverse; Theta, Sam, Jericho, Henry and Ling and Memphis; they all have stories, though Henry and Ling take center stage a lot more here, and Ling is the breakout character, stealing the show with her determination and drive. Together the two of them travel through a realm of dreams, trying to solve an epidemic that is making people fall asleep and never awaken. Ms. Bray is excellent in bringing this world to life, (though I found her 20’s slang a bit over-used), and every scene comes to life with exceptional detail. This is a book that you can taste and feel. The plot was well-structured, and it was often genuinely scary it has so much going for it, and taken together with The Diviners I think it’s quite effective. I am giving it a high rating, but I felt that there are some issues that I must address. Although not much longer, Lair of Dreams felt a lot longer than the Diviners. There are something like eight storylines going on, as well as frequent shifts in point-of view. Ms. Bray also deals with a plethora of social and class issues, which however laudatory, further slowed the pace for me. My last real complaint was that I had to go back and look up a substantial part of The Diviners to be able to find my feet here. If I came to this novel without first reading The Diviners I think that I would have found the going even a bit tougher. Lair of Dreams feels to me like a second part to a three part story, and unless I am wrong that is what it is. When you take the two works together, it’s quite impressive. As a stand-alone novel however, I was not blown away. I have read four of Ms Bray’s novels, and I think that she isn’t capable of writing a bad book, but Lair of Dreams left me eagerly waiting for the next book, but not quite thrilled with this one.
