Feelings in a Dream

My Thoughts on Feelings in a Dream

"Feelings in a Dream" promised a blend of romance, fantasy, and a touch of spice, and after diving in, I can see why it's garnered a dedicated following. The premise alone – a potion brewed to meet a prince in a dream gone awry – is enough to pique anyone's interest.

First Impressions

The story starts with Lizen, a pharmacist with a crush, crafting a potion to connect with Prince Daniel in her dreams. However, fate, in the form of Kaiden, intervenes. Right off the bat, the European-esque academy setting and the promise of a love triangle had me hooked. The early chapters establish a bittersweet atmosphere, setting the stage for emotional complexities to come.

What Works Well

What truly shines in "Feelings in a Dream" is the depth of emotion conveyed, especially through Kaiden's character. I was particularly drawn to the exploration of the characters' feelings and motivations. The author does a great job of portraying the contrast between Kaiden's genuine affection for Lizen and Prince Daniel's more pragmatic, duty-bound approach to love. The story takes its time developing their relationship, letting it evolve naturally. The smut is also well done.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Feelings in a Dream" is an engaging read that explores themes of self-love, sacrifice, and finding happiness with someone who truly appreciates you. While the love triangle might frustrate some, it ultimately serves to highlight the importance of choosing a partner who values your well-being above all else. If you're a fan of fantasy romance with a strong female lead and a touch of mature content, this novel is definitely worth checking out. I'm glad Lizen ended up with Kaiden. Prince Daniel simply didn't deserve her.
