Book summaryThis glitteringly indulgent novel incorporates so many different genres that it's hard to narrow down to just one--or even three. Vaguely Victorian, stolidly fantastical, and layered with heavy helpings of mystery and intrigue, THE GLASS BOOKS OF THE DREAM EATERS really gets going when Miss Temple, Dr. Abelard Svenson, and Cardinal Chang, all visitors to a wealthy manor, accidentally stumble (at different times) onto an odd cult that ritualizes the process of removing peoples' memories and injecting them into glass books, which can then be used as weapons. The storyline is a sprawling one, and Dahlquist weaves innumerable varicolored subplots together to create an ambitious pastiche of imaginative fiction. |
