A beautifully well written story. Fully enjoying every word I read. The author is a painter, an artist with words, I can always picture everything. Every landscape, every character. The story is engaging and pulsing with life, the characters are deep and complex. I am truly enjoying reading this magical story.

Written beautifully, I can not deny
It did take me some time to get into the writing style/how the characters spoke like a poem. But that is exactly how the author describe in the summary with a lyrical prose.
This is one of those books for me that has some sort of magic ranging from comfort all the way to heartbreak. It writes exactly how it feels to have those vivid fantastical dreams. I honestly felt like reading some of this before bed makes the experience even better lol.
I am curious as to how the series will go.

I enjoyed this book so much! Diving from dreams to reality to another universe was so different from anything I've read before. I honestly can't wait for book 2 to be done

Loved meeting this author at The Cozy Book Nook in Dayton Ohio. Fantasy is not my favorite because my attention span has a hard time with so much detail. She managed to weave a very intricate and complex world in just 201 pages pretty impressive!

I think everyone has had a dream that felt too real not to have happened. A lingering dream is an amazing fantasy with a diverse set of characters exploring love, loss, and anxiety.
