Dream a little dream - Kerstin Gier (book) ~ ☕☕☕☕

Hi everyone!

Well, starting from the fact that I loved this German author from the first single page of the first volume of the Gem Trilogy (sooner or later the review of this beautiful saga will be online), as I found out the new trilogy Silver: The Book of Dreams I just had to read it. Well yes, I actually am a urban fantasy lover.

For the ones who don’t know: the difference between fantasy and urban fantasy is that a fantasy novel is one like The Lord of the Rings, while a urban fantasy one is far more different. Urban fantasy novels are usually set in contemporary times in cities (usually big cities like New York or London… or Nantucket), so don’t expect to find medieval castles and armies of brave knights fighting on the backs of huge dragons, but rather creatures like angels, demons, vampires, warlocks and werewolves, and to cap it all teenagers (usually unaware of all this creatures) who inevitably end up in trouble.
When you go to the bookshop, you always find the same old stories: the same, old impossible love between two guys who shouldn’t be together, or between a human and a supernatural creature… the same, old, boring story.
Well, I assure you that Gier’s novels are absolutely different. I’ll show you… let’s start from Dream a little dream.
