β¦ Synopsis
Overview: "The trilogy explores the dark nature of liesβwritten, told, and enactedβand the surprising pain of truth. Jealousy, revenge, opportunism, and their consequences, also loom large in the lives of characters, be they swimmers (those able to enter and exit portals into different worlds), daydreamers (those who create the worlds), figments (those beings created by the daydreamers), or ciphers (terrifying creatures molded by the Whisper to destroy). Penning something of a cautionary tale, Starmer has constructed a multitude of worlds here, all tied to power of creation, and the boredom that ultimate power ultimately bestows. Ending with a staggering twist, readers adept at navigating this atemporal telling will clamor to get their hands on book three."βSara Lissa Paulson, The American Sign Language and English Lower School, New York City (School Library Journal)
