Publisher's summary

“Dripping with bloody opulence, A Multitude of Dreams creeps up on you like a sly shadow. I couldn’t guess at the horrors until it was too late to look away! I loved this book.” —Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrow

The bloody plague is finally past, but what fresh horror lies in its wake?

Princess Imogen of Goslind has lived a sheltered life for three years at the boarded-up castle—she and the rest of its inhabitants safe from the bloody mori roja plague that’s ravaged the kingdom. But Princess Imogen has a secret, and as King Stuart descends further into madness, it’s at great risk of being revealed. Rations dwindle each day, and unhappy murmurings threaten to crack the facade of the years-long charade being played within the castle walls.

Nico Mott once enjoyed a comfortable life of status, but the plague took everyone and everything from him. If not for the generosity of a nearby lord, Nico may not have survived the mori roja’s aftermath. But does owing Lord Crane his life mean he owes him his silence?

When Lord Crane sends Nico to search for more plague survivors in the castle, Nico collides with a princess who wants to break out. They will each have to navigate the web of lies they’ve woven if they’re going to survive the nightmares ahead.

History Retold

I enjoy Mara Rutherford's other works and I thought this novel was well written, yet I was annoyed by the liberties taken with the science of the tale. it is a fantasy world in which one of the heroes makes centuries of advances in medicine through pure assumption and guesswork with no tests or practice. In Mara's author's note at the end of the novel, she addresses the liberties she took in her fantasy world and all I can say to that is that it was her world to write as as she saw fit.
I did feel the characters could have had more depth and there was several missed opportunities to let the mystery's answers be less obvious.
Overall, I enjoyed the tale.

4.5 stars - good read

I was hesitant based on the sample (it just didn’t pull me in) and it did start off a little slow. But about half way through, I found myself wanting to know what happened next when I finished a chapter.
I was looking for a nice, sweet YA love story as a break from why choose and spice and this novel hit the spot. But it isn’t just a love story…it has mystery and intrigue, a bit of fantasy and this fascinating premise about a quarantine lockdown that we can all now relate to a little bit.
Not going to be my absolute favorite read of the year but still highly enjoyable and entertaining.

Refreshingly clean fantasy romance.

I had a difficult time initially getting into the story, but after about 1/4 way through, the story line picked up and grabbed my attention.
Having the MFC be of Jewish descent in this book felt very out of place, as the rest of the book was all fantasy, with no set time period. For me, every time it was mentioned, I became distracted and focused on it not really fitting the rest of the story. The author could have made it work better if the story took place in more modern times or spent more time on why the Jews were disliked. Again, this is just my opinion.
Overall, I enjoyed this book.
The narrator was excellent and has made my list of favorites.
