“The Dreamers Way” is a must read if you like to read about heartbreaking, family problems and suspense-gathering books. This book is about a woman, “Aoldi,” who is a Dreamer and is sent to find the Dreamers Way where all the Dreamers go. She has to leave her family, Alric, her husband, and Flita, her daughter. At first she does not want to leave but she realizes that she and her family would be in danger if she does not.

She went to talk to the Tzeh Cher or Vevine, the leader of the Protectorate; Vevine gave the order for Aoldi to find the Dreamers Way. She would be sent outside the wall of the Protectorate with an air suit because the air is not breathable. At the Golden City, or the Dreamers Way, after time, she became one of the leaders but the younger dreamers are starting to rebel.  They are not going to the circles and being selfish with their powers. Aoldi and the rest of the leaders had to do something.

In the protectorate they were also having problems.  Swane is supposed to be the next Tzeh Cher, but he is a boy/man and they never had a man in that position. Swane thinks that the Dreamers should be killed and not given a chance.  He does not know that they help them and he will have trouble believing it.

Flita is Aoldi’s daughter; she is a Dreamer too, and was sent to the Golden City.  She started out badly as she met this guy, Kilian, and was flattered by the way he treated her.  She joined the rebellion with the others.

I really enjoyed reading this book and I bet you would to. I think this book is something I could read over and over again and never get tired of it. When I stared to read it, I was hooked.  I love book like that. “The Dreamer’s Way” is for all ages because it is easy to understand and read. It is very well-organized and written, so I believe it should be on your list of books to read.
