River of Dreams

One of the things I liked best about River of Dreams is that it jumped right into it. It didn't spend half the book for Finn to find out about Dreamwalkers. It was refreshing that there was communication with her family, and she told her best friend Jed (relatively) soon about what was happening. It was a nice break from everyone keeping secrets from everyone – it's so frustrating yelling at a book (or TV screen) that if people just talked to each other, things would work out much better.

As much as I like that we dove right into the action of the story, I would have enjoyed more character development throughout the book. It felt like we only knew the very surface of the characters. There were hints of it, such as Finn and Noah's discussion about their biggest fears, but overall there wasn't enough connection to the characters. I think that kept me from loving the book, but I did still enjoy it and would continue reading a series!
