To sleep, perchance to dream . . . or wake again in a different world.
This is the dual life of Muse, Love, and other Immortals like them. Split between two lives in two worlds, they never sleep, never dream, and never die. In one life they walk among us, unknown, in the other, they are worshiped as gods.
But they are not immune to the troubles of life — love, loneliness, loss, and the eternal question of where they came from and what their purpose is.

Dreamers is a quiet story, softly lilting from place to place, person to person, character to character.
It follows the story of Muse who never sleeps, but is in either our world or in the immortal world. Sometimes her action or thoughts reminds my own troubles as a writer, how my own muse is distant, wandering.
But mostly, I think, the story is about bits and pieces of life. And I love that, I really do. Sometimes life is amazing and beautiful and crazy weird, and sometimes life is ok, sometimes it’s just downright sad.
And I think Dreamers has a little bit of everything.

When I first read this story it was before I set my chapter limits so for this, I kept reading until the end (at the time 9 or 10 chapters) mainly because I was hoping for something to happen. While I really do like Sarah’s writing, I think this is one of the weaker pieces she has that I’ve read.
Dreamers is exactly my kind of story—quiet, thoughtful, full of loneliness and longing; a romance, in a way, but more about the myriad ways damaged people fight off the intimacy they so desperately want, than it is about warm and fuzzy romantic love.
Dreamers follows Muse, a young immortal who lives [more . . .]

This fiction best any fairy tale work i’ve ever read. The characters are all the invisible yet ever-so-present forces in human life. It is particularly ingenious of the author to show the characters are gods/ goddesses in one world which show how humans esteem such forces and how they are seen as ordinary people in the other world which prospered the truth that they are invisible to human eyes yet present. Each characters’ words and actions cum appearances match what they are called, which are the axioms accepted everywhere in the human society. My favorite line was when Love said to Muse . . . But you must understand Muse, I’m Love not Lust. I marvelled at the creativity from start to finish, and who wouldn’t?
