Thoughts On: The Dreamer's Thread Ep 9 & 10

The Dreamer's Thread

By: Starla Huchton

Genre: Fantasy

Format: Ep 9 ~ 36:23 mins

Chapters: 17 & 18

Book Synopsis:
Everyone Dreams. But what would you do if you suddenly found out that you were one of the few who creates dreams for the whole world? Would you use your power to harness the light and weave it into beautiful tapestries of magic and wonder, or would you fall prey to the seductive siren song of darkness and nightmares? For artist Aura Mayville, this becomes a reality as she is ripped from her life.

This Episode:
Aura and crew set sail and she discovers a new world under the sea...

My Thoughts and Summary:
Arua and her crew head out on the high sea, for their quest of the beast terrorizing the ships. The beast is found! And Aura recognizes the black ooze as the same at their stop in Marcus's village. Aura finds more than the beast in the seas...

Aura feels this is a test for herself, even though she's worried of harm coming to others she wants to make sure she can fight. Aura gives her powers a workout.

We meet a new character Sira. And find there is a whole other world here. What Aura has to create, what she turns into! Quite the sight! Sira is a...special person. An interesting family we learn about. But it could be trouble for Aura...

Oh how I love the sea... This is a sight for one to take in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Format: Podcast, Ep 10 ~ 24:53 mins

Chapters: 19

This Episode:
Aura visits with Sira and makes a startling discovery about the girl's family...

My Thoughts and Summary:
Sira's story is a touch of a sad one. Her love, loss, and Aura holds hope for the future. Yet the secrets of the family history is a complicated one as well.

Aura talks to Sira's father, Theas, on her behalf. What she learns of Elsaar's and Sira's mother and father is interesting and bring thought back to Captain Squiddy too. I had wondered if the nightmare Queen had touches in their mother's disappearance ten years ago. But with what we learn, maybe not so. But I do wonder if we'll see Ryla.

Then, the history we learn with Captain Squiddy...there are questions rattling around my mind of him too. Tricky little web weaved here.

Aura has a few more people she wants to help in this amazing dream world.

It sounds nice to have something about sea. I really need to try stories like that to see if I can understand.

Quotes from Books, which caught my eye...

"It's always Ragnarok. Regular mortals have the power to blow the world sky-high and all the major supernatural factions can do the same. The thing is, though, as long as people want to live then you're going to have people stepping in the way of those who want to do something to blow us up. That's the only way you can endure it." Ben Talbot, By C.T. Phipps in Esoterrorism

"Be that as it may, we were--and no doubt, still are--held under scrutiny, with that whole Phoenix Society brouhaha. It is imperative we remain on our best behaviour, a feat that you did not exactly manage effortlessly with your shenanigans in Edinburgh." Wellington Books, By Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris in The Jaus Affair

"Remember this always: the fly, even in paradise, must always exist on shit." By Frances Pauli from The Fly in Paradise

"'In hundreds of years,' she continued, voice darker and sober now, 'I've only let myself love two people. You don't have that kind of time, though. You're mortal. You don't get to make a lot of mistakes before you kick it and if you wait, you get screwed over.'" By Skyla Dawn Cameron from Hunter

"...But I don't want you to be afraid to take risks. If it's worth it...If the person in his eyes is the person you want to be, the person you know you could be...then don't be scared..." By Nicole Peeler from Tracking the Tempest

"We are what we choose to be, girl," she said. "Let others determine your worth, and you've already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves..." By Peter V. Brett from The Warded Man.

"There are no honorable causes. There is no good or evil. Evil is only what we call those who oppose us." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising.

"That we are both right. One truth doesn't refute another. Truth doesn't lie in the object, but in how we see it." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising..

"Death is real, irreversible, and awful. Do you want some advice? Don't wait until you're dead to try to communicate. Do it now. You still have a chance. Not a great one, but a better one than you will have. If you think it's hard to get your point across now, and that no one really understands what you're about, just try it when you're dead." By Alexander Jablokov from Brain Thief.

"I wasn't running now so much as stumbling quickly, panting like a geriatric lion." By Nicole Peeler from Tempest Rising.

"Watch for the ones who leave your mouth hanging open. Study them, find out what they love and what they fear. Dig the treasure out of their soul and hold it to the light." He leaned in even closer now, so that Neb could smell the wine on his breath. "Then Be like them." By Ken Scholes from Lemantation.

The truth, the Seventeenth Gospel said, is a seed planted in a field of stones beneath a stone and guarded by snakes. To have at it, be strong enough to move the stone, patient enough to dig the hole and fast enough to dodge the viper's fang. By Ken Scholes from Lamentation.

I took a deep breath, "I took the nahlrout because I didn't want to faint. I needed to let them know they couldn't hurt me. I've learned that the best way to stay safe is to make your enemies think you can't be hurt." It sounded ugly to say it so starkly, but it was the truth. I looked at him defiantly. By Patrick Rothfuss from The Name of the Wind.

"We can be strong in the face of kings and priest, my lady," Ashe replied, "but to live is to have worries and uncertainties. Keep them inside, and they will destroy you for certain-leaving behind a person so callused that emotion can find no root in his heart." By Brandon Sanderson from Elantris.
