Dreams of the Compass Rose by Vera Nazarian is a wonderful collection of intertwined stories that explore humanity, godhood, what is right, and what is illusion. It drew me in with a strong storytelling voice, sometimes using an overt narrator and sometimes just the tale unfolding. In a way, the style reminds me of the older fantastical fiction like Tales of the Arabian Nights, at least in the beginning. This isn’t a modern fantasy where the magic has its own physics, and yet much of it follows conventions and laws within its own world, whether it’s demonstrating the dangers of acting on too little information so though your intent is good the results are bad, or the risks of letting arrogance make you believe yourself smarter than gods. It’s a world where horrible acts have consequences, and horrible suffering sometimes offers a faint reward. At the start, the characters are all strangers, but as the book progresses, some of those strangers become familiar, even welcome. The narrative style changes too from an account of distant times brought to life by a storyteller to a tale unfolding before your eyes through the lens of a first person actor within the events. The choices made are ripe with conflict and often not what the character deserves, and yet as the stories come full circle, it works out. Things make sense, and even offer elements of happiness. This is a skillful, complex world peopled with compelling, three-dimensional characters that offer their dreams and nightmares in the hope that you, the reader, will walk away changed. My only regret is that it took me so long after getting the book to read it.

This book was great! I really liked the story and the characters. But, I would have given this five starts if it wasn't for a few things. First, the way that scenes flowed from one to another was kinda confusing sometimes. There's not a gap in all of the scene changes so you have to go back and read where the new scene started. Second, I don't know if I just wan't paying attention, but the day after Nora goes out with Patch, Vee asks about the date and I don't remember Nora telling her about it. And the third thing that REALLY bugged me was the way that Becca Fitzpatrick just listed everything Nora did. Example: "I splashed cold water on my face, scrubbed my teeth, and tamed my hair into a rubber band. In my bedroom I pulled on a clean shirt, clean jeans. I called Vee." (386) Umm, okay. And i care about this, why? A character needs to be driven to do something. And I don't see how Nora was driven to do all that random stuff. Fitzbatrick could have easily written "I got ready for the day and called Vee." Okay, sorry about my rant, but it's over now. I know it sounds like I hated it, but I really did like the book. I like the character of Patch. I can see how some people might relate the book to Twilight, but it's not THAT similar. There are only a few things, like meeting in biology. But to the people that wont read this book because they don't like Twilight, that's CRAZY! This is a completely different story! And a good story at that! I can't wait to read the next book!!!

I know I'm seriously in the minority here, and that's fine, but I found this absolutely excruciating to dredge through. I was hesitant to pick this up because I dislike erotica, but the temptation of seeing into the characters' pasts and missing moments was too much. I assumed there would be actual plot among all the sex. 'Twas not so. I enjoyed the short snippet of Seregil meeting Micum, but it was little more than a palate cleanser between all the sex in the rest of the stories. I found myself wincing in embarrassment the entire time and skipping whole scenes of nothing but sex. It is possible to write love scenes well, but these were not. Ms. Flewelling has said herself, in her journal, that she doesn't feel confident writing erotica and is in fact embarrassed by it, and it shows through in her writing. With the first three books of the series being fantastic, the fourth abysmal, the fifth mediocre, and now this, I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth picking up book 6 next year, or if I should just stop and pretend the first 3 are all there is. (Edited to add: can fantasy authors please stop making egregious errors with regards to hunting? Why would a hunter track a mother cat and her kits, first of all, and why shoot one of the kits? No meat to eat and no pelt to use. C'mon people. Everyone does this!)
