This series remains one of the coolest things ever at this point. It wins quite a few points with me for not making the obvious choice (at least right away) of making the male love interest the black knight in the dreams. I think he’s still a distinct possibility, but leaving that go til next volume was quite an evil decision on their part.
Anyway, I also appreciate both the romantic situations in this book. The fact that the main character’s gender role is still not clearly defined makes loving both the male and female love interests that much easier. I’m swinging towards the male at this point because the female turned into kind of a frosty bitch in this volume despite the good intentions of the main character. The male is also very direct and doesn’t seem to be affected by obstacles in his way.
Despite my love for this story and the fact I read it mere hourse ago, I still can’t remember any of the characters names. Oh well.
The dreams were also very awesome this time around. We get a new character, and an extra creepy element that freaked me out a little concerning graduation. It was also very neat though, especially since the character relationships will need to be resolved around this element. I also think there were interesting observations surrounding the main character, like he’s the only one that maintains his actual body in the dreams, and he also can’t even dream of harming a soul. Very interesting.
The wait for this one is killer too, but at least it comes out every three months. Could be worse.
