MY REVIEW:
Please note this book is the second in the A Hollow Dream
series, the first being A Hollow Dream Of Summer’s End. This review will have
some connections to the first book which could be classed as spoilers so if you
want to read it first then check this review out I can understand that. I can
also highly recommend reading A Hollow Dream of Summer’s End which is a novella
(and currently FREE for the Kindle edition on Amazon and has been for some
months), although Eternal Autumn stands up perfectly well by itself.
Aiden Park is 12. He has just died. He knew this anyway.
The monsters are coming for him. A stranger appears from nowhere and helps him
to escape the monsters through underground tunnels and leads him to the Eternal
Autumn and the city of Everland. Aiden’s mind is swimming with questions. Is he
really dead? Who are all of the people in the city? Who are the Outlanders and
the Dismemberer’s? What magic does the tree give? Does it give a second death
or a second chance at life? Aiden needs
to firstly discover who is telling him truths and who should never be trusted.
This book is quite simply stunningly superb. Anything I have read before by Andrew Van Wey has totally captured me and had me totally mesmerized by his writing. Eternal Autumn goes one step further…..it grabs you by the squidgies and just refuses to let go until you reach the last page.
