Summary: The best start for a new series
Review: This book was great! I thought that the story of Nola and her imagination was intriging. I can't wait for another book by these two authors comes out. I'll be the first on line. If you liked Piers Anthony's Chaos Mode series, you'll love this new world of dreams and wishes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A soul-searching novel
Review: This first novel by July Brady is a wonderful surprise. From despair and hopelessness, we are taken hand to hand to hope and dreams that come true, but not win with a snap but with hard work. Nola is a young woman in the wrong relationship, that uses her dreams as a way to escape our dreadful reality. There she has an beautiful unisus (half unicorn, half pegasus) and a wonderful and understanding Prince Charming. But what she didn't know was that what she thought were just fancies, was as real as the world we live. But of course, there is a threat that only she and other people like her, the Creators, can stop.

This is a novel to read and read again to get all different meanings. It is amazing also, that this novel comes from the writer own lucid dreaming.

I really recommend it.

Summary: I wish there was a space for zero stars
Review: Warning 1- this is not really a fantasy novel.

Warning 2- Piers Anthony did not write it.

I'll explain. Anthony has an unfortunate tendency to find fans of his with heartrending personal lives, and he tries to brighten those lives and line his pocket book at the same time. He encourages them to write books, then he signs on as a cowriter, without actually contributing much, and gets the book published. That's what happened here. This novel started out as a dream journal. As such, it's perfectly fine and should be kept personal. It should never have been marketed as a fantasy novel. Added to that, Brady can't write very well. Her plot, what I could discern of it, was fine. Her decision to discuss abuse is laudable. Unfortunately, her style is nonexistant, her language is clunky and unbelievable, and her characters are cardboard. I have never been this dissappointed in a book. The best thing about it is actually the blurb on the back. As another reviewer stated, if you want to read a good story with some of the same elements, read A Game of You by Gaiman.

Summary: A heart touching story...
Review: When I first looked at this book ,it was sadly not for Julie, but for Piers Anthony. But as always after I picked it up I could not put it down! Even if two authors had written this book about Tina and Nola, they both deserve the credit. Now I know Piers is a great writer ,but Julie is just as great. It was actually a very heart touching story...and a sometimes sad one. This story was greatly illistrated and I thought that Nola and Tina were very good character structures. All in all I give this book my compliments and a five-star rating.
