Seers and Dreamcatchers abound in Stephanie Thomas'
LUMINOSITY, the first book in The Raven Chronicles.
Thomas
has built an amazing world where dreams are controlled,
futures are seen and a balance must exist between the two.
Beatrice is a Seer who is highly regarded due to her
especially clear visions. Seers are taken from their
families at birth and raised in the Institution where they
are trained to defend and protect the Institution and the
city from the Dreamcatchers. The Dreamcatchers are able to
control the citizen's dreams, but that's not all. They are
also able to kill the citizens with a touch. Beatrice sees a
war coming with the Dreamcatchers. Later, during her dreams,
she is contacted by a Dreamcatcher named Echo who tells her
that they need to save each other instead. Beatrice keeps it
a secret from her best friend, Gabe and struggles with her
feelings for Gabe and Echo, and her allegiance to the Seers.
LUMINIOSITY is an interesting and unique story. The Seers
and Dreamcatchers are fascinating by themselves, and the
world that Thomas created is incredible. With a hook ending,
I look forward to reading the next book to see what will
happen next with the intriguing characters and setting.
LUMINOSITY is a
stimulating YA dystopian read from Stephanie Thomas.
Beatrice, whose Visions are clearer than those of the other
Seers, trains to defend the Institution and the City from
the Dreamcatchers. As the City prepares for an invasion, a
Dreamcatcher named Echo tells Beatrice that war is imminent,
and they must save each other in order to survive. Beatrice
keeps this information from her best friend, Gabe,
jeopardizing her allegiance to him and the Seers. Now,
threatened by both the Seers and the Dreamcatchers, Beatrice
must learn who she can trust, and make decisions that may
cause her to lose Gabe or Echo forever.
