A masterful conclusion to the Dream Walker trilogy, providing satisfying, though never expected or pat, endings for its many characters at a pace that is neither hurried nor meandering. The emotionally intimate relationship between the two leads is the beating heart of the story, but themes of exploitation vs. stewardship/cultivation, community vs. isolation, and interdependence vs. strident independence are explored in ways that leave you deep in thought. The action sequences have a cinematic, propulsive quality that counterbalances the softness of romance and friendship moments. There is nothing saccharine or forced about these relationships: Duval has a sensitive observer's understanding of group dynamics. When characters endure physical challenges or hardships, they manage not by some magical means, but by using specific muscles and clever strategies - that kind of physics-and-body realism is rare and welcome in fantasy. I will miss these characters and hope to see more of them if there are future explorations of this world in Duval's future.

I can’t begin to share how bittersweet the experience of reading this end to a brilliantly organic, emotional pull of an adventure, romance, fantasy.

I was hopeful for closure on one of the main plots and I can say I completely was overwhelmed by more than I bargained for.

When you think you can’t know a story and it’s characters enough, Duval not only welcomed new people to the pages that I ended wanting full novels on but we are invited to delve deep into our MCs, revisit some of what book 1 laid out and provided a change of scenery throughout that is no less immersive and surprising as with book 1 and 2.

The slow burn is alive and well in Unstoppable but Duval’s expertise in true fluid writing keeps you from blinking because you don’t dare interrupt the feelings her writing evokes.

I’m always put in a trance by her storytelling and the Dream Walker series is an experience for all the senses!

Wow. 5 stars. An amazing way to finish Pen and Abel's story. This story had it all. Survival, love, found family and blood family. Strength, Perseverance. And I loved the David and Golaith feel. The poor, down trodden people fighting AND overcoming a brutal government.

There was lots of action but also a lot human moments. Vulnerabilty, trust, support and love, understanding, compassion.

Manx is such a mercurial person. Abel will protect Pen until his dying breath. Bishop, well she's a snarky bad ass. And Damion starts to find himself after things settle down.

I waited patiently and sometimes impatiently for Unstoppable but it was worth the wait.
