Fantasy lovers, here’s a gem! Elizabeth Knox has created curiously talented characters called Dreamhunters. They enter a mystical ‘Place’ to collect dreams, and subsequently broadcast these to audiences, who book bedrooms in dream theatres. Dreamhunters are fêted and can become wealthy, so many hopefuls ‘Try’ to enter the Place when old enough.
We follow the fortunes of two cousins, close companions, from leading Dreamhunter families. The two are torn apart when one fails her Try and struggles to cope with disappointment, while the other passes and has to discover the extent of her own powers in the absence of her Dreamhunter father, who has disappeared.
Despite strict regulation, dreaming is being misused to create political bias and to torture convict labourers with nightmares. The young protagonist uses her emergent powers to unmask the perpetrators of such abuses. The story becomes increasingly metaphysical as she uncovers the true meaning of the Place and its dreams.
This satisfying book has many levels. It explores moral dilemmas such as corruption and profiteering, relationships between strongly drawn characters are sensitively described, and there is also a deftly woven ‘coming of age’ thread.
Don’t miss The Invisible Road, it’s a corker.
