I just finished this second book in the trilogy and all I can say is...can I have some more please???? I am really enjoying this world. The characters are alive and their journey makes you cheer for them.

The second book in Holland's The Gods Dream Trilogy, Reaper of Dreams lives up to the excellent first volume in this trilogy. A captured prince tortured by an evil god finds his soul mate in an Earth woman badly wounded in body and spirit. To me, Jasmine's adjustment to a new world and her discovery of its unique culture and half-dozen gods--the most quarrelsome bunch since the Greeks and Romans--was the most fun. There's also plenty of tension and action as she and Prince Indaran fight to free themselves and his people. Book One's Princess Daria and her mate from Earth, Khan, add further drama to the story. Holland wraps everything up, but leaves the biggest battle of all for her third volume, due in January.

I loved Sower of Dreams, the first book in this trilogy, and Reaper of Dreams is a really great follow up. The world Debra Holland has created feels as real as the one we live in, and her characters make the story come alive with all the heroism we expect from the recurring characters from Sower of Dreams. Can't wait for book three.

Where do I start? Debra Holland has created, within the first two books of this series, a world complete with complex cultures, language, petty, waring Gods and characters that are compelling and sometimes endearing or frightening. Without going into the plot too deeply (as other reviewers have already done so) my thoughts on these two books are intensely positive and now I am anxiously awaiting the third and final installment in the series. I adore fantasy adventure books with a bit of romance and intrigue...Holland delivers this and more in this wonderful series that is sure to become a classic.
