Mister Impossible
by Maggie Stiefvater
read by Will Patten
Scholastic Audio, 2021. 10 hours, 44 minutes.
Review written August 24, 2021, from a library eaudiobook
This is the second book in the Dreamer trilogy, where Maggie Stiefvater continues to demonstrate her imaginative world-building.
In this book, Ronan is on the run with two other dreamers. Dreamers, also called Zeds, are able to dream objects and bring them back to reality.
But the Moderators want to track them down and kill them, because Visionaries have seen the world destroyed with unquenchable fire – because of Dreamers. They must be stopped.
Meanwhile, we’re also following some characters who are dreams themselves. They are destined to fall asleep if their Dreamer dies – except in this book we discover a possible way to escape that fate. Also, the ley lines that give power to Dreamers are getting weaker because of the proliferation of technology. Can the Dreamers fix that?
And the story of all this is complicated and surprising and unexpected.
You will want to read this trilogy in order. It would be tremendously confusing if you didn’t, but as it is each new revelation pieces into what you already know about Dreams and Reality and Destiny and Power.
