Dream Warrior (Dream-Hunter, #4; Dark-Hunter, #17)

This was enjoyable. It was a change from the newer Kenyon books I read because they focused on the characters I was interested in more than the Dream-Hunters. After all, I'd really disliked the Midnight Clear story. It bored me to tears.
My only concern about this story is that if you aren't a regular Kenyon reader, you might find yourself more than a bit lost. So many characters make "cameo" appearances that someone who didn't know the series might have had some trouble keeping up. I mean, in addition to the entire dream hunters crew, we get Ash, Tori, Simi, Danger, Alexion, Zarek, Astrid, Baby Bob, Nick, Samia, Ethon, Blade, Jared, Jaden, Zyphera, Medea, Davyn, and the entire pantheon of Greek gods and goddesses. Many, many more were mentioned or referred to as being relevent to what was going on. And Artemis' cheesy speech about telling someone you love them every chance you get to the hero of this book was so out of character and so ridiculous that it would have stripped off a star all by itself.
Still the story and the writing are fast paced and funny. If the banter seems cliched or silly, it's because it's supposed to. It's just that kind of humor.
