About the Book:
The Future Never Sleeps
In the glacial nation of Norgard, Jolan the dream teller serves every seeker, whether peasant or high lord. Though she loves using her gift, she struggles to navigate the corrupt and dangerous court and the jealousies of the Guildagard.
When an old man’s nightmare imparts a dire warning, Jolan realizes her entire nation is in danger. But before she can sound the alarm, she is betrayed by the guilds and sold into slavery in a rival kingdom far to the south. As a slave in a foreign land, at first Jolan can’t see beyond her singular focus: return home to warn Norgard of the coming calamity. After facing new dangers, making new friends, and forgiving old wrongs, she must fulfill the purposes the Provider has set before her.
Only then can she face a decision that could cost her the man she loves, her calling, and her freedom—all to save a people who abandoned her.
My Review:
Jolan the Dream Teller is a victim of a game of power and deception as she is sold into slavery and taken far from her home to a rival country. While this story reminds me of the biblical story of Joseph with the dream interpreting and life events, Ms. Hinck’s world building ability made it seem completely different. I enjoyed the descriptions of the places and people of Jolan’s new home.
There were quite a few themes that resonated with me: find contentment in your circumstances, trust God’s plan for your life, and forgive those who wrong you. I really enjoyed the book and would recommend it if you like the following genres: Biblical fiction, clean romance, or fantasy.
I received an arc of the book. I was not expected to write a positive review and all opinions are my own.
