C.S. Friedman is probably better known in the world of traditional Science Fiction for her Coldfire and Magister trilogies. I received an ARC of her newest entry, Dreamwalker. The publisher describes is as “something completely different” and it may be… for her. To the rest of the world, it’s something I feel like I’ve seen a million times.

• A girl who sees the future through dreams. Check.
• Dark creatures and changeling children. Check.
• Moral dilemma on what really makes somebody family. Check.
• Daring, but poorly thought out rescue. Check.

It’s a quick, easy read and it’s relatively well written, but there’s nothing really unique or exciting to the story. Give it a try, but maybe wait for the discounted e-book.
