The BookViral Review: Genre – Fantasy War Fiction
A full-on fantasy epic, Dream Whisperer delivers a rousing, large-scale adventure that rivals the very best in its genre. Blending historical fact and fiction it’s a masterfully paced telling with Draym quick to build a visually complex tale and gathering momentum whilst ensuring the definitive devices of fantasy are ever-present.
From concept to execution Draym’s plot is flawless, confidently navigating multiple threads with an abundance of detail to create a delightfully dark dance of manipulation that delivers a genuinely disquieting sense of time and place as he breathes new life into well-known historical and literary characters.
With characters like Ian Fleming to Mycroft Holmes and Nikola Tesla, Draym confidently conveys the emotionally charged interplay of his eclectic cast. Each woven through multiple plot threads whilst persuasive well-rounded characterization and superb descriptive prose render scenes that are compelling and immersive.
There are the expected genre tropes to be found in Dream Whisperer, but to Draym’s credit, he doesn’t exploit them to the point where we find ourselves reminded of other stories to deliver a novel which feels wholly original. Overall Dream Whisperer proves a deeply layered and exhilarating read that ensnares the imagination and proves a remarkable debut for Draym.
Setting a high bar for future releases in the Fleming Chronicles, Dream Whisperer is recommended without reservation.
A cerebral new time travelling thriller that’s considerably more contemplative than the vast majority of genre releases Future’s Dark Past proves a stylish head trip. A read that teases the brain and touches the heart as its twists and turns keep multiplying whilst never losing sight of the need for narrative sustainability.
A highly enjoyable and spirited read from the start, there’s a lot for readers to like about The Aspirant. A memoir underpinned by a fluid narrative as author Matthew Joseph paints realistic pictures of India’s geographical, cultural and political landscapes from bygone eras.
At their best, they stun you with their visions of ultimate endings both small and catastrophic with hauntingly bleak futures.
The imaginary worlds and characters of fantasy fiction continue to enthral readers around the world.
From Monty python to Dorothy Parker, and even Shakespeare, dark humour and satire has entertained the best of us.
Whilst the issues of prejudice and discrimination are multi-faceted and complicated beyond belief, a key moment for me was the day I picked up ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’. Harper Lee implicitly drilled down the relative unfairness of human existence into my 12-year-old brain, creating a sense of outrage that has stayed with me throughout my life.
