The book revolves around a young man named Aren and strange dream’s he experiences, which later in the book start to make sense by helping you understand the reason for the dreams and what they are about. I think the book is trying to follow a sci fi / fantasy / supernatural type of genre, but the book tended to be very confusing and unclear until the last few pages, where you start to understand what is going on in the book.

The book jumps quite a bit from one story to the next so you end up getting lost along the way, instead of it finishing the specific person’s actions it moves on to what another person is doing without getting to the point that they need to achieve in the previous story. The book seems to have a supernatural theme that might be enjoyed and loved by lovers of supernatural books, who may be interested in the storyline.

The book started off as very confusing and I struggled to follow what was going on, only near to the end of the book it started to make a bit more sense, so I managed to get an idea of what the book was about.

The writing style did not follow any guidelines and was very difficult to keep track of. It was very difficult to keep up with what people were saying and what people were thinking in the book as they were not properly separated into speaking aloud and their thoughts, which also led to the confusion factor in the book. There are also a few grammar mistakes in the book that distracted quite a bit from the story.

I was not a huge fan of this book, because as I mentioned previously that it was confusing and was also very difficult to follow. I thought I would enjoy the book more than I did, because it has a very captivating title but unfortunately for me it did not live up to it. The storyline did not keep me captivated and interested, but that is just my experience, there may be readers out there who thoroughly enjoy the book. The book was just not for me. I think with a bit of extra editing and some shifting in the storyline, it could be a good book. I would rate this book 2 out of 4 stars.

I must say I love the cover, now that I've seen it.
