Dreamthief

Olive Kennedy, Fairy World M.D., Book One

De: Tamara Grantham

Narrado por: Gillian Rose

Dreamthief received the 2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Award from Foreword Reviews for fantasy and also won a RONE award for Best New Adult Romance. Forget the fairies and unicorns, most people return from fairy world with lost memories and mental problems. Olive Kennedy knows. She's the therapist who treats patients suffering from Faythander's side effects. Traveling back to the fairy realm wasn't on Olive's to-do list. But she has no choice. The fate of both Earth and Fairy depends on her ability to stop an ancient being called the Dreamthief. To complicate matters, she may be losing her heart to someone who can't love her in return. Saving the world, she can handle. Falling in love--not so much.

Fantastic storytelling

Tamara's suspenseful, exciting new world, really comes alive in this audio version. Fantastic storytelling. Can't wait for the next one!

Take a trip into an alternate world

I wasn't sure if I would like this book based on the limited description provided, but I did. Considering that I skip sections or chapters when I get impatient with a story, it did well by holding my attention all the way thru to the end. Yes, there were a few weak sections, but this is a remarkably well fleshed out story for a first (audio)book in the series. The premise of different worlds existing side-by-side with a few who can travel between the human and Faythander is interesting.
Gillian Rose has a young adult, feminine voice that served well for a late 20s, early 30s woman. And she did pretty well differentiating characters. I think we'll be hearing more of her voice as she matures into her craft.

Mediocre, filled with the usual tropes

I found this book mediocre at best, filled with the usual fantasy tropes. The romance is downright eye-rolling, including a character "who could not afford to give her heart to someone who might hurt it", the boring-but-safe boyfriend who would not hurt said heart and the "true love" who just might.

About half way through, I found out that this book is aimed at a younger audience. So, for a reader that is still discovering fantasy, the tropes may not all be hackneyed and predictable and the book much more enjoyable than I found it.

Love this book

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. Boy, am I glad I received this audiobook. It is full of intrigue, suspense, magic and a world of strange beings. You need to pay close attention because this is a world of mystery and fantasy. There is a reason for everything, only you don't know that at first. Tamara has an ingenious, creative mind. Her imagination is awesome and she brings you in to it. The narration was good as well. Loved this book. Can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Fairy World MD Book 1

This is a great start to an intriguing series. The author does a great job describing everything well and building a captivating new world. Olive is a great main character. She is intelligent, caring, strong, and brave. The book develops in a good pace with some mystery, intrigue, some unexpected twists, and the perfect touch of romance.

Narration was well done and brought the story to life.

The conclusion was excellent. It was not a major cliffhanger but concluded with the main problem resolved and something to look forward to for the next book. If you like elves, dragons, goblins, pixies, magical parallel world, and just the right amount of romance, with fantasy adventure & mystery, you should give this book a try.

Dreamthief

This was a very enjoyable book! Great characters, excellent world building, tiniest bit of romance, and lots of intrigue! The narration was great as well! I enjoyed all of the different accents! It really helped to differentiate the characters. this book is worth every penny and every minute spent listening!

Therapist for the beyond

I can't imagine having an event that was so traumatic that causes me to switch realms. I was entranced by the world that was created. It both made me want to go there and run away as fast as possible. I really want to listen to more books in this series!

This review copy audiobook was provided by the author/narrator/publisher free of charge.

Great start to a series

This was a re-read for me. I was gifted a copy of the audiobook by the author. I loved going back through the story again. This may not have been the narrator that I was hoping for but as a whole, the audiobook was worth a listen.

Dreamthief by Tamara Grantham begins the story of Olive Kennedy, a therapist, who treats those who have traveled to Faylander as children and has suppressed those memories. Olive is able to do this because she is from both worlds, she is a strong 24-year-old who is trying to live life on her own and like every other 24-year-old does not have her life completely figured out. Olives loyalty to those she loves is shown as she throws herself into a search for her godson’s dream soul.

The development of Faylander is wonderful and constantly defined throughout the book in such a way you can see the map in your mind. Tamara takes the different races of Faylander and makes them her own, which are completely different from what we are used to.
