Trade ReviewPraise for the Dreamwalker series:
"
Dreamwalker is
nerve-twisting and fascinating. Siblings Jesse and Tommy are tangled in a murderous genetic bait-and-switch that transcends worlds and time.... Waiting for the next book will be tough!" —Tamora Pierce,
New York Times-bestselling author of the Song of Lioness series
"[C.S. Friedman] writes bright, clear prose that can shine like gemstones or cut like broken glass.
If you haven’t read her work you need to do something about that right now." —Tad Williams,
New York Times-bestselling author of the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series
"Once again, CS Friedman shows us
strong characters and innovative magic that transcend genre.
Dreamwalker is a satisfying read for long-time fans, but will also serve to showcase her work to a whole new generation." —Peter V. Brett,
New York Times-bestselling author of the Demon Cycle series
“There is
plenty of suspense; some affecting, mild horror scenes; and intriguing hints at a much deeper game being played, with Jesse as the pawn.” ―
