(See our full review over at Bookkaholic.) Weaver, a young country bumpkin, lives in a post-apocalyptic world and shovels waste for a living in a small village. He was abandoned here as a baby and has never left the village. But Weaver leaves his post and the village is destroyed. With the help of a much braver girl, Abanel, they search for the fabled Shield, a large village once known as Toronto. Evil is on its way to destroy the Shield, one outpost at a time: the Dream Eater.This book's best feature is easily the original story idea and unique combo of genres. It is in a post-apocalyptic setting, set in Toronto, Canada, approximately 60 years after a cataclysmic war. But despite the futuristic setting, and even before taking Weaver's powers into consideration, it felt like a fantasy in theme, characters, and adventure. With the mysterious, seemingly all-powerful villain, who will likely remain faceless till the end of the series (which is fine, as long as he isnt
What are the three most popular genres?1. Young adult2. paranormal/fantasy3. dystopianNow, take all three, commercialize it, add a great story line, several pinches of moments that hint at a very, very deep backstory, a list of great characters, a lot of suspense, and a great mystery... and there we have it: Dream Caster.Can someone say potential best-seller !!!
I honestly don't understand why this book is so highly rated. YA dystopian novels are a dime a dozen and even among all the riffraff, Dream Caster isn't particularly good.First, the writing style, tone, and pacing itself has a tremendous amount of kinks. Rather than a coherent story building towards the end, it's a lot of exposition scenes with action scenes spliced in. And speaking of exposition, nothing in the book is introduced to the reader in an organic matter. The first half the book
I almost gave this book a 3.5-4 because of the spelling.BUT WAIT. it then hit me. Canadian author, duh! lol. No wonder why certain words were spelled differently. Once I got beyond that, this book was fantastic.There were many hidden puns and word plays that (for the author's sake) I hope his readers 'get it'.A young teen might be able to read it and enjoy it, but only someone a bit older with a higher reading standard could truly appreciate it. The characters and the plot was what i loved the
a unique story that keeps away from the overused things that we're used to seeing in YA, Fantasy novels. liked it alot.
Don't get why this book isn't popular. Needs better publicity. There's potential for big things here. I see enough growth left for Weaver to mature into a terrific hero by the final book. His friend Toggen is a great sidekick as well. Emma-Lee can use a little more growth, but once developed, I can see her playing an integral role in saving the world, much like what Hermione was for Harry, or Sakura for Naruto.Take a crack at this series. You'll enjoy it.
