I was hesitant to read The Dream Hunter, because reviews of the other Dream-Hunter books were not so great. But I actually really enjoyed this book, more so I think because I read every other book in the DH series up to this point (including Acheron and One Silent Night) before reading this. Since time-wise this story takes place before even the first Dark-Hunter book, it was really cool to revisit old characters (Kyrian, Nick, Zarek, Ash) when you know what is going to happen to them later in the series. What happens at the end of this book sets everything else in the series in motion as we see how Ash really first doomed Nick to his fate.

As for the love story, it was typical Kenyon. As always, the play on Greek myths was fun. I enjoyed Arik more than Geary, and I loved his confusion with the real world as compared to the dream world. You don't think about it, but in dreams you really don't dream of underwear (unless you're dreaming you got stuck in public in just your underwear), or anything else mundane. I also liked Solin--there's a lot more to him than his snide exterior--and would like to see a story about him in the future. All and all, it was not as deep as the DH books but it's a good fast read that I finished in one sitting.
