The longing of dreams draws the dead, and this city holds many dreams.

After a supernatural showdown with a serial killer, Evie O'Neill has outed herself as a Diviner. With her uncanny ability to read people's secrets, she's become a media darling, and earned the title "America's Sweetheart Seer." Everyone's in love with the city's newest It Girl...everyone except the other Diviners.

Piano-playing Henry Dubois and Chinatown resident Ling Chan are two Diviners struggling to keep their powers a secret--for they can walk in dreams. And while Evie is living the high life, victims of a mysterious sleeping sickness are turning up across New York City.

The longing of dreams draws the dead, and this city holds many dreams.

As Henry searches for a lost love and Ling strives to succeed in a world that shuns her, a malevolent force infects their dreams. And at the edges of it all lurks a man in a stovepipe hat who has plans that extend farther than anyone can guess....As the sickness spreads, can the Diviners descend into the dreamworld to save the city?

Lair of Dreams : 3.5

Ooh my I've been reading this for so long, and that's a big part of why my rating is this one.
I really loved the characters and the setting in the previous book, and this is still true in this one, but I felt like I was just carried from POV to POV without a finish line in mind, I liked what I read and wasn't bored, but then I didn't have the will to pick up the book again..

Anywaaay I love these characters, Evie, Theta, Henri (best boi, I was really emotional with one of his scenes it didnt happen in a long time), Sam, Ling^^

The BIG threat is more and more clear and I will read the next book with pleasure I just hope the pace will work better for me ahah

I am pretty stingy with five star ratings but I very strongly considered giving one to this second in a genre fiction series. It is really excellent in terms of the emotional and cultural experiences of its characters. Maybe I wouldn't rank it as highly as One Hundred Years of Solitude but this series deserves to be widely read, and I think this book exceeds the high standard set by the first in the series.
