Lair of Dreams was a bit of a disappointed book. It did not lived up to my expectations, since I really liked the first book in the series. This book was really slow and had a lot of characters that made me get lost from chapter to chapter while I was reading it. I did really had to push myself really hard to be able to finish it. The plot was interesting and really unique, nonetheless it was the development of it that I did not like.  As I said I found it really slow, I think each character storyline was interesting, nonetheless quite unnecessary most of the times. Apart from that with so many characters and so many lines open it was really difficult to keep up with what was happening.


To conclude, I think Lair of Dreams was not what I was expecting nonetheless it was not a bad book and I think the plot was unique and interesting.
