Lisa Ard, author of Dreamseekers: Fright Flight, has written a great story that explores the wild world of lucid dreaming. A lucid dream is a dream where you are aware of what’s happening in the dream, and can control it. With a light, easy style and a fast-paced plot, Ms. Ard has introduced a rich world that I hope she explores even more next time.
WHAT I LOVED
Ms. Ard has a great sense of description. I really felt connected to the world she was creating every step of the way, whether it was in a dream with a sundae bigger than our hero, Patrick, or the huge explosions rocking the spaceships later on in the story, I always felt that Ms. Ard’s world was alive and vibrant.
The action scenes are also breathtaking and fast-paced, sure to keep readers hooked as Patrick makes split-second decisions as all manner of madness breaks out around him.
WHAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE NEXT TIME
I have two little quibbles with Dreamseekers: Fright Flight. As the first book in the series, I would have loved more detail on how the dreamseeking works, and how the family discovered their power in the first place. It was such a fascinating concept that I couldn’t help but want to see Patrick explore it more from a discovering viewpoint.
My second hangup was the length, and not because I don’t like quick reads. I loved the characters, and wanted to get to know them more, but all too soon, the story was over.
FINAL RATING
4/5 Stars. Great plot, fun characters, and a very intriguing concept. Just a bit on the short side to get know everyone really well.
Definitely check this one out, Booksforboyos peoples. A great quick read, tons of fun.
