I finished Daughter of Hounds and as usual of your work found it a entertaining read. The characters were good. The story held quite a bit of excitement and twists, leading to a better understanding of the mysteries your universe. I absolutely loved the variant worlds.

My only negative comments on the book are not the "dream" sequences as such, but the fact Emmie constantly derides nearly everything as a dream. (I'm preparing to deal with this.)

That and "bad" guys are too easily dealt with, especially their final battles. I felt only in a few sections of the book was anyone in grave danger. But that's how I felt about LOTR.

Anyways, a good book that I have recommended to all my friends.
