Midnight's Twins (Midnight's Twins Trilogy #1) by Holly Race

 

From Goodreads

The first novel in a lyrical, endlessly inventive urban fantasy trilogy from debut author Holly Race.

Fifteen-year-old Londoner Fern is about to uncover a place that she could not have imagined in all her wildest dreams. Annwn is the dream mirror of our world, a place where Dreamers walk in their slumber, their dreams playing out all around them. An enchanted, mysterious place that feeds our own world - as without dreams, without a place where our imaginations and minds can be nourished, what kind of humans would we be?

But Annwn is a place as full of dangers as it is wonders: it is a place where dreams can kill you. Annwn and its Dreamers are protected by an ancient order known as the Knights - and when Fern's hated twin Ollie is chosen to join their ranks, Fern will have to do whatever she can to prove she is one of them too.

But the world Fern discovers in Annwn, in this dream mirror of her London, is a fragile one, threatened by vicious nightmares. Nightmares that are harder and harder for the Knights to defeat. Something dark is jeopardising the peace and stability of Annwn, something that must be rooted out at all costs. And gradually, Fern realises that the danger lurking inside our sleep is more insidious and terrifying than any nightmare. Because if you can influence someone's dreams, you can control their thoughts ...

My thoughts

I borrowed a copy of this from BorrowBox the digital lending side of my local Library.  I am not sure how I actually came across it, but I was drawn into the premise of the story.  I do enjoy books that take you out of your day to day life and transport you to a fantasy world and this book certainly does that.

I gave this a 3.5 stars or 7/10.

In this 1st instalment of the Midnight Twins Trilogy the scene is set nicely by the Author and we are introduced to a huge cast of characters.  This is a great start to the fantasy series and I am looking forward to reading the next in the series, I already have it reserved via BorrowBox. 

A lot of the action takes place in dreams and often dreams can turn into nightmares in one way or another.  I hope that this series is not full of nightmares and that good can concur evil.
