Where Dreams Descend

This book gave me a lot of Moulin Rouge/Phantom of the Opera vibes. The writing style is full of sensual metaphor, which on one hand is lovely, but on the other hand – the whole thing felt a bit over-blown to me. I didn't connect to any of the characters on a personal level. The ending left me struggling to parse what was metaphor and what had actually occurred – and maybe that's what the author wanted, but I just wasn't up for it. Overall I think the book has merit, particularly for teens/YA, but I as a busy adult reading for comfort and amusement am not the right audience for it.
