Lair of Dreams is the sequel to The Diviners by Libba Bray. OK, that was me letting go some feelings out. To show that in a book set in 1927 is accurate, the sad part is that almost a 100 years later we're fighting against the same kind of stuff. This book portrays discrimination toward Chinese people mainly, but it also towards POC and portrays homophobia. It was disheartening to hear about race discrimination in this book and realize that nothing much has change. So bad that the audio books are so expensive!! I also want to highlight that it brings some important issues that are concerning as for the current times too. I certainly recommend it and I will continue on with the series. Lair of dreams was an eerie book and a creepy one. But once I started to pay more attention I was dragged into it. As I'm not a native English speaker and I didn't remember everything from the first book, it took me a while to absorb what was happening and to get into the story. I listened to The Diviners a couple of years ago and really liked it, I thought the story was interesting and refreshing, I loved the 20s setting and the narrator is just marvelous! The ambiance January LaVoy generates while telling the story is everything. Also, for fans of Bray's previous Gemma Doyle trilogy there's a tiny easter egg/treat in this second book for us!
Unless you're some kind of fuddy-duddy or you just don't like YA fantasy/scifi novels (basically making you some kind of fuddy-duddy). Yes, but it is very lengthy, so that is not possible.ĮVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS SERIES. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Which character – as performed by January LaVoy – was your favorite? I loved Bray's debut trilogy, "The Gemma Doyle Trilogy," AND her book "Beauty Queens," AND this series is quickly joining the list. Obviously it goes well with its prequel, but these novels are in a league of their own, combining YA romance problems, sci-fi, fantasy, and mystery. What other book might you compare Lair of Dreams to and why? Now, of course, I'm sad that it is over and so I will have to start again from the beginning and savor it this time, so I'm sure I'll like those parts more the second time around. There are several parts that seem to drag on endlessly, but that is probably due to my own impatience to get to the end.
Yes, the prose alone make it worth listening to/reading. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
