I would like to thank Luke Taylor for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.I know that you (or most of you) have already listened to me gush about how much I love Luke Taylor when I reviewed his novel The Quiet Kill (my review). I am just floored by how eloquently his words just flow, his stories come to life, and I immediately get attached to the characters.
His newest novel Vault of Dreams is no different. It was within the very first 5 pages that I KNEW, this book was going to a favorite for 2016, if not my lifetime!
Vault of Dreams, which follows the lives of several characters as they attempt to aid the lost, rightful heir to the thrown of Albanland. A thief with a troubled passed, two brothers and a beautiful gypsy, A bard with secret, and a brave soldier who holds the heart of the rightful queen, and of course the current queen as well (ah, love triangles). We follow each character as they fall in love, learn to fight, and ultimately become the people they were meant to be. I am extremely happy that this was a multiple pov, Luke does extremely well at jumping between characters, and they all have very distinct voices. I had no trouble knowing who was talking. The multiple pov also gives you a chance to really get to know the characters and fall in love with them, and fall I did! Every character has a very special niche in my heart (especially Nievan :D)
The plot was pretty straightforward; the rightful heir has disappeared, leaving the thrown vulnerable to Morgance, who turns out be a pretty sketchy ruler- side note, Morgance was the only character that hadn’t locked down my adoration; I was so all over the map with my emotions for her, sometimes pity, sometimes anger…she was very hard to like at first. Roshwen creates an army and then goes to take her throne back.
I am not a big fan of fight scenes, especially big battles. In fact I often just skim through them. However, I found I didn’t do any skimming in this novel. The battle scenes are straight forward and quick, I really appreciated that.
One majorly epic thing about the book is its details to the surrounding areas. I loved how Luke painted the picture of Nordic coasts and forests. I seriously felt like I was in Scotland or Norway. It was just beautiful.
In fact this whole book was beautiful. It feels like a Modern Day Epic. My only regret is that there will be nothing else to read in this world. Ah well…I will just have to come back and read it again, which will be no hardship!
Seriously this book gets all of the stars, and you should absolutely put it on your to read list! While you’re at it, put all of his books on there as well!
Happy Reading
Jackie

Vault of Dreams Luke Taylor 9780990624950 Books Reviews
So this book was a magical read.
The story was told with a poetic description.
The characters were richly created, each different and special. Each had a point in the story.
The way each of their stories were tied together was really done beautifully. It was a joy to read and an exciting experience.
There are not enough standalone books in the fantasy world. And so it was refreshing to read a story from start to finish. At the same time. I really loved the characters and would have loved to read more.
Niles was my fave, except for one time when he was an ass. Young stupid and so very funny, I loved him.
The gypsy was a lovely character, fun and just the right amount of spicy.
The thistle was another fave of mine. A tortured soul, yet so very strong.
And then there were what I guess were the main three... Ending in the same fight that started everything from the start when they were kids. I really liked Ultan till the end. I mean really man, your whole life you regretted your decision as a boy. You grew up to be a beast. You were put in a similar position as that one time and you do what? The Thistle said what I was thinking. Grown man, just hiding while they kill eachother. Grrrrr I was not pleased with you Ultan.
Overall this book was a great read. I am lucky to own a signed copy.
Awesome story and beautifully told!

Dear Luke,
It’s my first time writing a review in the form of a letter. I simple didn’t want to write any review; I wanted to write a review to you. My single greatest regret is that I’m only rating Vault of Dreams 4 of 5. Yes, I’m horrible. But, I know that you’d want my honest review above all else, and I would give you nothing less than that.
Rare is it that I find myself so privileged to read an author’s work. You write with such beautiful and romantic prose, yet Vault of Dreams is still grounded with conflicts that mirror the depths and struggles of the harsh realities of life. The richness of your writing, though gorgeous, was challenging for me in that it reduces the story's momentum from building and distracts from the overall pacing.
That being said, the perk of very lyrical prose is obviously stunning world-building. Albandland is absolutely otherworldly. It’s atmospheric and haunting. With its misty lochs and ancient castles, Vault of Dreams was a majestic picture reminiscent of the lush Highlands.
With a total of eight characters to fall in love with, the extensive cast reminds me of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, which coincidentally is one of the authors that has influenced your writing. Having read both your and her book, I can definitely see the inspiration. I didn’t find any characters to be overly generalized, but rather thoughtful and well developed, and their interactions were dynamic and synergistic. My favorite character is Aerlyn O’Rye—the Thistle—a thorn, a heroine, and a thief. She is a standout character amongst this stellar cast. She is resilient in her conviction to do what is right “for the betterment of others.” That resolve in her character really resonates with me.
Readers will surely find companionship with perhaps Aerlyn, as I have, or her friends
Ultan, Guardian of the Crown and a mythical hero;
Morgance, Faer Princess of the Night and usurper of the Crown;
Rhoswen, Princess of the Throne, Hier of the Crown of Albandland;
Nevan and Niles, two brothers with a penchant for trouble;
Quill, an insatiable apprentice;
And Finleigh, a gypsy with a deep connection to the Vault of Dreams.
(These names are lovely, Luke!)
Together, they are like a tapestry. Where one character’s thread may feel a bit loose, another will tighten it, resulting in an intricately woven story filled with tension, mystery, intrigue, and soul-searing romance.
I know you’ve poured your heart into writing this, and that is more than any reader can ask. The one thing I took away from this story is that vengeance is powerful, but forgiveness is godly—an idea that is so consuming. I would highly recommend this story to anyone. For, Vault of Dreams is an engrossing page-turner that climaxes with many heartbreaking twists. Thank you for taking me on this journey with you.
With deepest regards,
Lonna
