Resumen del Editor

Invisible to the man she loves, Reeve Lennox fights to reclaim him from a dark world.

As her wedding day nears in Acarsaid, her betrothed Arden offers only his wayward soul and saucy tongue. At night she desperately tries to reach Bran, the young soldier of nightmarish Tenebris who holds her heart. However, her king insists that the realms of Tenebris and Acarsaid must remain separate, lest the evil wizard Rancore brutally conquer all.

But the dark magic of Tenebris defies mere distance. A war is coming, one only Reeve may be able to prevent, if she can reunite her family on opposing sides.

With two kingdoms at stake, Reeve must discover her strength and her family’s legacy before all is lost. Yet righting the wrongs of the past may require the sacrifice of her truest love.

An immersive story

The second was as good as the first. I greatly enjoyed this Duology. Slow paced, but keeps reeling you in.

I'm kind of sad it's over now...

it is a duology, so A Dream Within A Dream is where everything gets resolved. Generally speaking I was actually glad that there is sort of a happy end (i guess it depends on whom you ask).

Kerrick and Thrall have closed the portal; Reeve still dreams herself to Tenebris, but is not seen, much to her detriment and Bran's suffering. That doesn't stop her from trying - trying to find ways, trying to convince her uncle and the wizard, trying to test if maybe something has changed.
Until an unexpected discovery changes everything and convinces Kerrick to have the portal reopened.

Reeve goes on to warn and help folks in Tenebris, trying to prevent the inevitable war Rancor is trying to spin.

Beautifully written, very very beautifully written. Kristina Mahr is someone I'll keep on my radar for my YA/Fantasy fix, for sure.
Additionally, Kim Churchill did a fantastic job with her narration. Especially her inner monologues still stay with me, even after I've let the experience sink in for a few days. But so do the tender/flirty/teasing/fun moments between Reeve and Bran, Reeve and Arden as well as all the friends around her. She finds just the right way of how the characters interact with each other and changes it up where it serves the scenes.

Highly recommended! :)
