"Only in dreams had I ever experienced sunlight. The sensation of warmth came from the memories of dreamers; hence, why I knew about its heat."




Dreamweavers centres around Anima who is living in a parallel world. She is a dream harvester, which is central to the survival of the colony she inhabits. Anima wants more from life. Everything is the same; everyone looks the same, but Anima has a spirit of independence that sets her apart and puts her in danger.

This is not my typical genre, but I'm so happy I picked up this book. From the first page, I couldn't put it down and was engrossed with the story. The imagination of this author is phenomenal. CC Ravanera draws you in, providing vivid descriptions of the world she's built, so much so that you feel the emotions of the characters and can see the landscape in your mind's eye.




There are some issues with this book. The pacing of the story drags in some parts and is definitely targeted toward a YA audience. Overall, however, the positives outweigh the flaws, and the engrossing storyline, emotions evoked, imagination of the author, and world she's built deserve a Cranky 5 stars.
