About the Book



Title:
Julian Fox: The Dream Guardian
Author: E.J. Miranda

Genre: YA Fantasy

It is said that dreams are just that: only dreams. But believe me, this is not always true. Some dreams are as real as the dreamer.

Thanks to their dreams, dreamers can receive the special visit of eternal wisdom that has inspired the creativity of great inventors, scientists, musicians, and even writers throughout the ages.

This creative wisdom is not always the type that appears to the eager conscience. Sometimes, a Defiler, a destroyer of dreams, is the one who tries to appear before the dreamer. These creatures were once humans, but they allowed their pain and desire for revenge to take over and seek the same miserable fate for the one who dreams.

You must not fear — Dream Guardians, also known as Kelsdrant, will always protect the one who dreams, even with their own life. They are people of flesh and bone, just like you and me, or at least they are on Earth.

The following story is dedicated to the fun, extravagant, and enlightening life of Julian Fox, the Dream Guardian.

Be prepared, dear reader. It is time to dream, laugh, reflect, and even maybe cry.

Welcome to the Land of the Wise Dreams.

Review



Julian Fox is a college graduate looking forward to working at his father's business.  He and his brother, Nicholas are engaged in a continuous prank war and his girlfriend, Jennifer is always around saying how much she loves him.  Julian's life is beautiful.  One night Julian has an extremely lifelike dream, one where he is taken to the Land of Wise Dreams where he fights off an evil force that wanted to enter the dream arch of a dreamer and harm them.  Julian learns that he is a dream guardian, a Kelsdrant and has been in training to protect dreamers from the Defiler's.  Julian now splits his time between his real life and his dream life until the two begin to mix.

Julian Fox, the Dream Guardian is a unique and interesting fantasy read.  It did take me a little while to get into the story as it began with showcasing the extravagant and affluent lifestyle of the extremely gifted Fox family. There was a lot of description of the family's exorbitant wealth that really didn't do anything for the plot except for setting up Jennifer as a gold-digger.  I also didn't understand why the mother of the 20 and 21 year old Fox brother's were so involved in their lives to the point of sticking thermometers in their mouths and regulating what they eat.  However, I really did enjoy the book once Julian entered the Land of Wise Dreams.  The world-building was wonderful and had a captivating history and landscape.  I was fascinated by the different animals of the land and how they tied into Earth's mythology as well as the painful histories of those that became Defilers.  I found Julian's journey within the Land of Wise Dreams much more interesting as he went on quests, battled Defilers and made friendships.  The ending twists Julian's real life and dream life together even more and leaves room for a sequel. 

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

    Hi there! I'm Stephanie and I obviously love reading.  As, the title suggests, I read at least one hundred pages a day.  I enjoy most book genres; however, my favorites are historical fiction, fantasy, science fiction, thriller, horror and YA.  I also read a lot of non-fiction science and gardening books for my occupation.  I enjoy reviewing books and as always, any book that I receive for free is read in return for my honest review.
