Dreams Lie Beneath

I really liked this book! It kept me captivated the entire time but after finishing the book and coming off the book high, I started noticing some letdowns that I didn't think about until then. For example:

- Why did it feel like the story did not fully end? From what I understand, this is a standalone but it felt like the author kept it open for a potential sequel.
- The manifested nightmares could have been so much more interesting! The sky was literally the limit. I would have loved for something to play out more chaotically, like dreams normally do rather than following logical rules and feeling more like real life situation playing out.
- The whole half stone heart situation. Clementine's personality/emotions didn't really change considering the huge sacrifice her heart half turning to stone was meant to be.
- There were some other things but these are the only ones that come to mind now.

So although i immensely enjoyed reading this book, it just needed something more to be a great read.
