Will is a man in his 20's who spends his days perfecting his physique at the gym. In his quest for vanity, Will decides that he needs a tattoo; however, it needs to be unique. A sketch of an alluring woman in front of a volcano catches his eye and he finds himself unable to stop thinking about the woman in the picture. Once Will sources the money, he gets inked. Then, the dreams start. Will is transported to the land of his tattoo when he sleeps. He meets the woman inked on his chest, named Hel and becomes obsessed. Hel's world is more dangerous, with a constantly erupting volcano, ghostly guards and strange creatures. Will is transfixed by Hel and the dreamland. The more he dreams, the more it affects him in the real world. When Will's dreams begin to affect his real life, Will must decide what he values more.
A Strange Man Named Will is a book in the Sleeper Chronicles which can be read in any order and add another perspective to the story. Will's story captured me from the beginning. His character is not exactly someone I would like. Will is overly obsessed with his appearance, lives with his parents without contributing and doesn't seem to care about the people around him. Despite this, I was fascinated by the choices he made in his life and within his dreams. Will's time within the dream world of Rehen was definitely more intriguing for me as he attempted to desperately search for Hel and navigate the different landscape. In the real world I was very interested in Will's interaction with Jill and am still wondering what connection she has to the dream world and where her fixation with Will stems from. Will's new capability within the real world is also very mysterious and I wonder what impact it will have in Rehen. With an abrupt ending, I hope to continue reading Will's story again very soon.
