Stadd has built a world that most people would dream of; a world where people live in beautiful treehouses and children can race down rivers on huge lily pads. A world free of pollution and free of electronics; a peaceful haven with no background noises other than birdsong. But this world holds its own secrets, are the occupants as peaceful and harmless as they seem, or are they darker \u2013 hiding their true nature in the deep past?&nbsp;&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/indiebooknook.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/voyage-of-the-dream-maker-cover--244x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-236\" width=\"159\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiebooknook.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/voyage-of-the-dream-maker-cover--244x300.png 244w, https:\/\/indiebooknook.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/voyage-of-the-dream-maker-cover-.png 474w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 159px) 100vw, 159px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-larger-font-size\">7. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3M4VQD1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Voyage of the Dream Maker &#8211; Yogi Yasha *<\/a><br>\ud83c\udf15\ud83c\udf15\ud83c\udf15\ud83c\udf11\ud83c\udf11<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"> *Although this review is for <em>The Voyage of the Dream Maker,<\/em> the above links to book 2 in the series, mainly because I couldn&#8217;t find book one on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a strange one, another beauty from Reedsy Discovery, and one that slightly blew my little mind.  <em>The <a href=\"https:\/\/indiebooknook.co.uk\/tag\/the-voyage-of-the-dream-maker\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"164\">Voyage of the Dream Maker<\/a> <\/em>isn&#8217;t an ordinary book by any means, and starts with a glossary of sorts.  <br>&#8220;We weave in and out of a strange narrative then. Yasha keeps the perspective from the first person, but in some chapters, there&#8217;s no way of knowing who the narrator is. It keeps you on your toes in a trope that&#8217;s been written a million times before.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#b708eb\">And, that&#8217;s it, folks!  Although I&#8217;ve read many more books this month, only some of them have actually been officially released.  So&#8230;  All I can say is happy reading!  You may have noticed that most of these books are available on Kindle Unlimited, which is always a bonus, in my opinion, because the author is paid per page read.  Which is cool.  <br>Anyway&#8230;  <br>Be sure to come back next month for more reviews (there&#8217;s A LOT!), more listicles, and more blog posts.  Until then, happy reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#cc54dc\">S.
