*This is the final novel
in a trilogy.*
“Ho hey, the working day, the working day, the working day.”
Parents Niall and Mór (Mór Ó Corra a.k.a. Marie Lynch née Curry) escaped
Ireland for a new start, but got lost in what they found. Niall passed on (was
murdered) and Mor joined Boudicca (before Niall died). Declan Lynch, as the
eldest, has grown up the responsible, rigid one, seemingly uncaring but
actually having a lot of love for his brothers, Ronan and Matthew. Ronan has
grown up as the sharp, angry, middle brother, effortlessly indifferent while
actually having a lot of love for his family and friends, especially Adam.
Matthew has grown up as the happy youngest, the light in the room, created to
be easily likeable, but what he’s learned makes him wonder and gives him his
first rebellious streak. They’re the sons of a family with the power to make
the world or break it, as the world isn’t meant for such a family. But they
must save themselves and save each other, lest the world be doomed.
Hennessy’s
just like her mother (except for the dead part). She doesn’t want Jordan, a
dream with her face, to leave her. She is great at art but is not good at
living and so badly wants to be. Jordan is good at living and is also
great at art and even likes Declan’s company, pristine and boring as
Declan appears to most. Carmen Farooq-Lane wants for someone else to have a
plan, but she’d also like to be powerful and not only look powerful in a
painting. And while she’s at it, Carmen would like the originator of the plan
to be Ronan or Bryde, not a Zed who’s supposed to be dead, but whose handiwork
she’d recognize anywhere. She’ll have to be the one to stop him.
The final
novel of The Dreamer Trilogy is a triumph of marvelous plot, crisp dialogue,
snappy prose and complicated characters. This YA tale is a fantasy
seamlessly woven into the world as real as the one we live in, which in
itself is a type of magic. It’s at once sophisticated and sarcastic, mind-blowing
and moody, exciting and existential. It’s sensitive and messy, gripping,
engrossing and uniquely creative. It’s a marvel of imagination, a web of
intricate wonder set at an electrifying pace. It’s a story for dreamers, but
really, it’s a story for every imaginative reader.
