It had some cool ideas, but also an insufferable teenager as a protagonist, and it was kind of annoying. It was YA, and while there are some YA books that I really like, this one was just too much YA for me. It was interesting, but kind of disappointing. Recently I decided to try reading something else that he wrote, and I picked the Mither Mages trilogy. Especially the main series, but I enjoyed the Shadow books as well. He's mostly known for the Ender series, which is great. Know any others? Message #scifi and let your friendly mods know!

![]() Morris goes on to describe, This dream is as it were a present of an architectural peep-show. In the opening, transitional passage, the Narrator seems to pass through a stereotypical confused dream of public speaking, muteness, and public undress, and then seems to wake “on a strip of wayside waste by an oak copse just outside a country village.” The contrast between the preliminary, vague dream and the clarity and detail of the subsequent extended experience of medieval England suggests to the reader that the account of the rebellion may not be a dream at all, and certainly is not an ordinary dream. ![]() The narrator relates an adventure that, as he puts it, “Befell me after I had fallen asleep” – he does not use the term “dream,” and the description of his journey into the past is linguistically distinct from his earlier use of dream in the preceding pages. Here the account is more explicitly a dream, but carefully written in a way that renders ambiguous the dream-nature of the experience. As in his longer novel News From Nowhere, Morris presents his political message as a dream set in another era. ![]() The enchanted forest chronicles5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Do not engage in hate speech, harassment, arguing in bad faith, sealioning, or general pot stirring.
