5.0 out of 5 starsEXCELLENT NEW FANTASY COLLECTION
By Robert Steven Thomas TOP 500 REVIEWER on December 3, 2013
Format: Paperback
If you haven't read City of Dark Magic, the prequel to this book, you might want to order and read it first. This book and its prequel are excellent fiction and the author exhibits a good deal of original thinking and creative fantasy. In some ways it resembles the "Golden Compass Trilogy," but is quite extraordinary and unique in its own right. Written for all age groups, it would also make a great gift for someone you know who is a science fiction fan.

3.0 out of 5 starsBetter than the first one!
By chanda ekker on December 3, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
City of Lost Dreams, the sequel to City of Dark Magic, surprised me by surpassing its predecessor on every level. I wish I had a 3.5 star option! The first book left me divided, feeling let down by some aspects and really loving the potential existing in others. Ambivalence is resolved in this second installment! The potential in City of Dark Magic is fully delivered in City of Lost Dreams. The heroine is more capable, easier to love. You get to know lovable Nico much better and get a sense for what he faces in his peculiarly long, long life. And Max...there's a character a girl can have a book crush on ;0). Flyte creates the character depth in this one that is missing in the first one, allowing the reader to emotionally invest in the fate of the characters in a way that wasn't possible in City of Dark Magic. Though not entirely removed, the bizarre sex scenes that were so disruptive in City of Dark Magic were less abundant in City of Lost Dreams. Add in the exciting and unexpectedly twisty ending and you have a winner in City of Lost Dreams!

One of the things I love about reading across all genres of fiction is the opportunity to pick up something of value in what appears to be the unlikeliest place. I wasn't disappointed when I found the "life lesson" I'm always on the lookout for anytime I have a book in hand. This particular gem, delivered from the mouth of Pollina, young musical genius in need of a miracle, reminds City of Lost Dreams heroine of what's really important when she says, "Don't put such stock in this physical body. [...] Passion, in all its forms, that's what endures." Well said and an excellent reminder. I wasn't sure I would follow the work of Magnus Flyte after City of Dark Magic but coming off a City of Lost Dreams high, I can be counted among the many, many fans.

3.0 out of 5 starsMagnus Flyte is a delight
By Amazon Customer on March 2, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I enjoyed City of Dark Magic very much and anticipated reading City of Lost Dreams. For me, the setting, the musical background and the history were inspiring in the first book but the second book became a little too formulaic, drama-and-angst driven and for a story that became character-driven, it lacked any character maturity and the characters started becoming more two-dimensional puppets with predictable reactions.

To be fair, my husband still enjoyed the second book and disagrees with me. I should also point out that I will continue to look forward to any additional Magnus Flyte stories.

4.0 out of 5 starsVery satisfying
By Bedtime Sleuth on January 6, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Continuing the story of Sarah Weston, her time-tripping quests and lusty dalliances as alchemists and once-noble families seek power. Themes regarding science, the role of faith and ones locus of control, as well as moral questions regarding life and death, are gently unrolled. Fondly depicted characters reappear, and true love may yet triumph.

Not quite as rollicking as the first novel, it is nonetheless a good read that will leave you wanting jet off to Vienna as soon as possible. If the lovely Flyte ladies can make it a trilogy, can I ask for Budapest, with its glorious mix of ruin and Parisienne sensibilies, Liszt, Bartok and the Esterhazy and Szechenyi families and palaces? With Istanbul side trip?

1.0 out of 5 starsI tried!
By IdahoLee on January 27, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This story had a lot of my favorite elements : history, adventure, a mystery. But at 62% of the way through it still failed to grab me, so I quit. There were too many characters to keep straight, and things moved along too slowly. Good elements, but not executed well.

4.0 out of 5 starsCity of Lost Dreams
By Velia Tome' on December 27, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I love this one almost as much as the first one "City of Dark Magic".
The campy humor is still present, even though less than in the first one. The two main characters Sarah and prince Max are not as prominent and funny as in the first one, but are still very likeable.
I love the accurate and historical background of the locations, and I love the fact that in both books foreign terms and names are spelled very accurately.
I love the "international" feel of the book, as it jumps from Vienna to Milan with a deal reached over a "cotoletta" at Bice!
The odd characters are still there and they are quite likeable. I think it is a very original story, and I am really looking forward number three.

The story is just mesmerizing. I love the blend of history with the present. The characters are well developed and have great personalities. I feel like I would love to have people like them in my life and those characters are hard to come by.

Fascinating entertainment; highly recommend. Lots of surprises following a unique plot. City of Dark Magic got me started and City of Lost Dreams continues with no let up in entertainment value or readability.
