I don’t normally read YA novels, but thought the Dreamons, monsters that devour one’s soul in their sleep, were an interesting enough concept to pick up the book. Michaels drops just enough lore on these creatures to keep you interested without losing the mystery around them. The same can be said about Callum, the first main character we meet. He’s on a hero’s journey, and the mystery surrounding his circumstance isn’t one easily solved. The narrative is spot on for the intended audience, and as a parent, I don’t feel like there was anything I’d worry about my kiddos reading.
And when you pair all that with the excellent performance of the narrator, I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable read/listen!
