A Multitude of Dreams was a good read for me in the terms of: diverse representation, it was refreshing to read a fantasy with Jewish representation, strong female lead character, and overall some great gothic imagery.
I personally found the first half a little slow to get through, the premise of the story kept me curious to see the end, and with a modern fantasy plague retelling… I found this standalone an overall 3/5 ⭐️
The storyline was lacking plot twists for me, and I found the characters to be a bit one dimensional. If I was eating this book 10 years ago as a young adult this may have been a 4 for me! But my taste is a bit subjectively different these days. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a fantasy standalone with minimal romance, anyone who loves YA fantasy fiction, or to fans of modern works similar to Edgar Allan Poe.
