Finally a truly original concept in a well written entertaining way!
There are so many books on the market right now that just rehash the same tired old ideas into almost cookie cutter like moulds meant to sell a few copies and then collect dust. For the most part, there is no unique thought behind these stories or any sort of purpose to the author’s work. Dream Seeker: The Velvet Mask is different.
I started reading this book and was happily surprised at the originality presented. The premise of the story is that a young man realizes that he has a unique gift. He can find just the right words to make an individual remember his or her lost dreams. Moreover, in remembering these memories, the person figures out how to change their life for the better.
I thought that this was a great idea that definitely deserved an opportunity but I was a little concerned that the writers couldn’t uphold such originality throughout the entire story. A few hours later, I immerged with the book completely read. I hadn’t taken one break. I hadn’t even taken a sip of water because I was so completely immersed. Needless to say, I was completely satisfied with the rest of the story. Not only was the material fresh but I also loved the presentation, a narrative that resembled idealistic comic book stylings but had a really thoughtful philosophical aspect to it as well.
