An engaging and unusual fantasy

The Dreamkeepers is a richly imagined fantasy set in an evocative and mysterious Welsh landscape and library. The characters are all interesting, well developed, and believable, but the protagonist, who has the task of releasing the Dreamkeepers, appears to need additional time in which to complete his complex mission, and the reader may desire more of his intriguing story. As an early book by this author, it clearly points the way to future engrossing works in this genre. I'm looking forward to The Owl Keepers, which, I understand, is due in the Spring.
