What is this book, even? It's hard to tell. So little happens. Similar to book 3, the entire story could have been told in about a third of the book. There are just too many characters here, many of which don't add any significant insight to the story (Clarissa... 🙄) and just drag out the end forever. Everything important literally happens in the last 3 chapters of the book. Way too many things remain unexplained, like

the whole thing with the disappearing ships and why that's even happening. I still don't know the reasons for the great mystery behind the alien races and planets. And I miss Miller (seriously). Is that stuff ever gonna be explained? *sigh*

. I hope eventually it will have been worth it reading these books, but I have the suspicion that I won't find out until 2019.

Well, this was a game changer for the series. I'm glad that some long forgotten plot points seem to finally be coming back, albeit slowly. Can't wait for the conclusion to the series in book 8 and 9.

The second volume dives deeper into the dreamscape, as we get to know more of the consequences of Morpheus' capture, while this volume also prepares the later ones...

In the Season of Mists, the Dream Lord deals with the succession of hell after Lucifer has quit his job. A great volume that introduces many concepts and ideas, and is also quite important if you ever consider reading the Lucifer spin-off...

I think I read the first ~3 volumes and then gave up in this. While it's mildly interesting and the idea seems intriguing, I found it not engaging enough to make me keep reading.
