Mindline (The Dreamhealers) (Volume 2)
2 journalers for this copy...
Selected because she's a fellow Furry Writers Guild Member
The 2nd half of the Dreamhealers Duology. The first half of which made me cry no less than three times.
There is significantly less crying in this book. While the plot is more dramatic and further reaching than MindTouch, and the highs even higher... the lows are less sublime. The character's discover of an unfolding relationship and domesticity were such a touching part of the first half that I raved about it for days. This book is lacking that; but it is just as well... I doubt anyone could have duplicated in another work, even a sequel.
The wisdom we overlook when we fly past a sign at 100 mph, and then having to walk back and pick it up is a valuable lesson. We all have those moments/milestones. Jahir has at least 2 of them. As does Vasi, although his is more like the opposite and he has to race away at 100mph to put his wisdom to use.
I really would like to have seen Jahir disappoint someone, a friend. Certainly, there were people he couldn't save, outrageous requests that he couldn't agree to, and love that he could not return. But in every case, people, people seemed to shield him quickly, taking the sting out of it. Of course, in a few cases, he stepped "heroically" past those shields.
I was disappointed only on the crudest levels about the sex (I mean they're young, it could still happen - if not... well, that's what fan fiction is for). The story was very satisfying, with just a little "patness" to keep it from 9 stars.
