Dreamhunter, Elizabeth Knox

Dreamhunter
one of two :-(
by Elizabeth Knox
fantasy
copyright 2005
read in January 2024

rated 6/10: read to pass the time (but may be better)

Quite an enjoyable book, with one major fault.
The magic background is interesting. Doubly interesting in fact, there are two unrelated systems of magic. the world is rather sweet, steampunk, perhaps? characters are pleasant.
Yet there are some characters and incidents that go nowhere. until... the book ends.
there is no indication that this is book one of two. until... it ends. with nothing resolved. this is the fault, i guess, of the publisher, not the author. but it causes my rating to be lower than if the cover clearly stated that this is not a standalone book.
If you already have both books then this could be seven/10, well worth reading. Pity :-(
