This may as well have been a travel book in my opinion. It's all the main character does; travels somewhere, travels elsewhere, travels there, travels back. To me the characters felt flat and forgetable; I felt nothing for any of them, like or dislike, annoyance, affections. And therer was no moment of revelation like the blurb indicated. I expected something to happen and the real meaning of thr dream being revealed, leaving me shocked. Instead, I could barely remember the dreams, I could connect maybe one to an actual an event and even then I wasn't impressed. I only read this because I was mildly interested in the third book but I can't bring myself to read the second which seems to have even less plot.
