![]() ![]() Questions around who we would be without our memories and the way that even painful ones lead to emotions and character present the reader with something thought-provoking. Themes around the items we value and the lengths we'll go to obtain them cast a light on materialism, symbolism, and value. What I loved: This is a really intriguing story in part because of the inclusion of mythology and the magic of dreams. Venkat can feel that everything is about to change, and as he notices changes in Tanvi, he must navigate the dream runners and immortal political intrigue amongst the naga. At the same time, he feels a connection with the dream runners and wants to help them. The naga are at war with the garudi, spurring political moves in the court that Venkat is beginning to understand. Venkat was recruited to be a dream runner, but when it did not take, he was kept as the son of Nayan, the immortal naga who rules the dream runners and sells their dreams to the other naga. This event sparks a change in her that leads to something dangerous - a dream of her own. However, something changes when she is spotted in the mortal world and called Nitya. In Nagalok, she barely exists, not tasting food or having conversations or emotions. Tanvi is a dream runner, someone who has had their memories erased and who collects dreams from other humans to sell to a broker for the immortals who use dreams for pleasure. ![]() ![]() ![]() THE DREAM RUNNERS is an intriguing YA fantasy. ![]()
