review 1: The novel Gods of Dream was not the best book I had ever read. Gods of Dream by Daniel Arenson is about two twin teens that get called to a place called Dream. They are called because they have to save the land from their neighbor, none other than Nightmare, (as a book normally goes). The characters in the book were not so clear. I had many difficulties trying to picture what the kids actually looked like. Other than Cades hands, they had scars on them from a tragic accident that was never revealed. Tasha also acted strangely from this terrible accident but we never really find out why. For about 50% of the book was just repeating one scene over and over with new allies, gifts and villains. As the kids were trying to find their way to Nightmare they would run into someon... moree that would give them a gift that would help with the oncoming war. But soon after receiving the gift a minion of Phobetor, lord of Nightmare, would show up and the gift was destroyed. Pretty much you could tell what was going to happen next through most of the book. I really would not suggest this book to anyone. It seemed like it had a lot of potential it just needed more detail. It was great as a fantasy and new worlds but it still needs more work.
review 2: This book totally missed the mark for me. At the beginning it seemed like a children's book with the Candyland-ish place names--Beluga Beach, Caterpillar Cove... Then the main characters and the plot made it feel like a YA novel so I was getting on board with that when suddenly there was some fairly sexual dialogue between the bad guy and his demon wife whom he created to be his sex slave. It felt totally inappropriate.The writing was very simplistic and the plot consisted of a very long string of brief encounters with various good or bad guys with nothing fleshed out. I still have no idea whether this was intended as an adult or a YA novel. less
