Reviews for The Gods of Dream
"
The Gods of Dream is a very impressive, nearly impeccable work of art. It’s
The Neverending Story meets
The Dark Crystal meets
The Odyssey. It surges in parts, lingers in others, and always leaves the reader with the impression that they’re taking in something important. It teaches a lesson about pain and what it takes to withstand it. It shows how important life is, how important love is, how important
family is, be them blood or otherwise. It takes you on its journey of imagination and leaves you both panting and sighing at the fantastically bittersweet, yet hopeful, ending. In other words, it’s magnificent."
"This is such a glorious story, I cannot even tell you.... I have to highly recommend this book as an exceedingly worthwhile way to spend some quality time with your Kindle. It is an epic journey through an unknowable land, a smart allegory about life and death and everything in between, and a truly beautiful piece of work with emotional depth, tremendous heart and a more than occasional thrill of discovery."
"I'm hooked. It's fantastic. The descriptions of Nightmare will stay with you all day long."
-- Michael Crane, author of Lessons (And Other Morbid Drabbles)
"This book is masterfully crafted and sits in the vein of Tolkien and Lewis. Arenson's descriptions pull you into the book and allow you to follow the adventures of Cade and Tasha -- as well as Harmony, Starlight, Moonmist and Yor. It is a tale of heroism personified. You won't regret reading this book."
-- John Fitch V, author of Turning Back the Clock
"When I call this an epic tale, I truly mean it. There are so many places to visit in dream, so many gods and strange beings, and so many challenges to overcome. Cade and Tasha travel for over a year, growing in incredible ways, and changing the lives of everyone living in that land as they overcome many obstacles to reach their destination."
-- Jessica Billings, author of The Girl Born of Smoke
