Lair of Dreams Review

Hey everyone! Welcome back to the channel! I just finished book 2 in The Diviners series – Lair of Dreams by Libba Bray, and let me tell you, it’s the perfect fall read! If you loved the spooky vibes from the first book, this one takes it up a notch with chilling paranormal mysteries, dreamwalkers, and a bit of historical intrigue.

In this video, I dive into the continuation of Evie O'Neill's journey, but this time the focus shifts to Henry and Ling, two dreamwalkers who are navigating their powers to solve a mysterious sleeping sickness plaguing New York City. It's a book that blends history, mystery, and the supernatural, all set in a 1920s New York that feels both familiar and otherworldly.

I discuss the complex characters (including some fun new dreamwalking techniques) and how Libba Bray balances multiple POVs in this sprawling narrative. From the spooky sleeping sickness to themes of xenophobia, this book has it all! Plus, I share my thoughts on the pacing, character development, and why this series is absolutely binge-worthy.

🎧 If you’re into audiobooks, I also recommend checking it out on audiobook – I listened during an 8-hour drive, and it made the journey so much better! And don’t worry, I’ve got some fun, cozy moments in there too with my shirt (not sponsored, just cute!) and my thoughts on the overall vibe of the book.
