\"\"Lizz Huerta introduces a planned \u00adduology inspired by Mesoamerican myths, in which she alternates narratives with \u00adconnections revealed near book\u2019s end. Indir is a Dreamer in a family of multigenerational Dreamers whose visions serve Alcanzeh\u2019s kings. The newest monarch openly disdains the Dreamers, causing imbalance in the Waking World. When Indir loses her ability to dream, she faces banishment to survive.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, young Saya has always been manipulated by her mother in the name of safety. Separation from Celay may be the only way Saya can understand her growing powers.<\/p>\n

Elisa Melendez and In\u00e9s del Castillo take turns, respectively, as Indir and Saya. Debut narrator Melendez is the weaker half, her performance marred by noticeable, sometimes gasping, nose breathing. Del Castillo, more practiced with dozens of credits, deftly manifests Saya with curiosity, frustration, and hope.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong>: Impatient historical fantasy purists might want to choose the page.<\/p>\n
