'Dreamer of Destiny' by Barbara Woster

★★★★★

An Enjoyable Read!

Dreamer of Destiny is a Saga and boy did it truly earn the title. The story stretches across time, place and even dimensions of reality to chart Christina's journey of struggle and loss, of growth and ultimately of love with the soul mate who has watched over her in her dreams. All while demonstrating that Destiny will have its way even against seeming overwhelming odds.  

I found the author's voice authentic and engaging, especially the time spent in the heart and words of her native characters. At the beginning of book I found myself peeking ahead to see when we would get to see Baying Wolf again, (there was just something about the man!) I loved the fact that romance was secondary to the general arc of adventure and drama, and yet the ultimate reward for both the characters and readers patient enough to see the story to its end. 

The writer's attention to detail in recreating the world of the 1800s (a few inconsistencies notwithstanding) did much to help immerse the reader into the world of the story. A solid, enjoyable ​read all round!
