The Fae King’s Dream
by Jamie Schlosser
It’s been months since I got lost in a really good fantasy romance story, or any fantasy story for that matter. I absolutely adored book one in this fabulous new enterprise from author Jamie Schlosser so I was particularly excited to get my hands on the next book. I can unequivocally say that Jamie has mastered this genre, giving readers something different, otherworldly, dazzling and downright spectacular.
In The Fae King’s Dream, we’re greeted with action and drama, intrigue and dream worlds, magic and trouble and heartbreak, just as beautiful, we’re then left with the completion of a truly remarkable, exceptionally crafted and planned out fantasy adventure, peppered with supernatural elements, epic romance and familial love. Damon might be able to enter dreams and Whitley may be a dream weaver, but it’s Jamie Schlosser’s words that paints their kaleidoscopic world into something very real, weaving her sentences together into a tapestry or spell for her readers. From page one until the end, our focus, our emotions and our will for our players to succeed is firmly engaged.
‘Blinking, I focus on the stranger to steady myself.
There are dark shadows behind him, following his every move, almost like they’re attached to his body. When I peer closer, I see the distinct outline of gray-ish wings.
Whimpering from fear, I draw back. “Are you a demon?”
“What? No.”
“An angel, then?”
He laughs. “Hardly. I’m a faerie. We’re way cooler than demons or angels.”’
There is something so wonderful about getting lost in a book, particularly when that book has set up an entirely different and original landscape, filled with many diverse characters and beings, when it’s a sensational mixture of the unknown, of Damon’s sweetness, stalwart attitude, strength of character and will to do what is right and just. This is how a hero should be portrayed. Equally, our heroine Whitley was a sublime balance for Damon. She was his other half in so many ways. Funny, delightful, likeable and lovable in equal measures, they played off each other beautifully so we got a concoction of humour, banter, flirtation and realness.
The Fae King’s Dream is a brilliant piece of fantasy romance. The melding of two different worlds is executed to perfection, the inhabitants quirky and captivating, the dialogue fresh, magical and alluring. It’s sexy, adventurous, spellbinding and quite simply put, one of the best books to get lost in the first chance you get.
