i have been thoroughly and utterly punked when reading this book. i was under the impression that the two enemies to lovers storylines were ila and wren, and then alaric and caine but alas, it was ila and caine, and alaric and wren who appear to be the choices for romance in this book. i do think ila and wren would serve especially after the events of this book but alas it appears my dreams have been dashed. 

despite the fact that i gaslit myself into thinking that the romances in this book were wlw and mlm i really did enjoy this book. the world building is incredible and the characters are wonderfully written. so even though i won’t be getting my wren/ila endgame i will be reading the rest of the series when it comes out

Rise, Nightstrider. 

This book was absolutely amazing! I was hooked from start to finish with the fast paced story following the 4 different point of views. 

Wren’s pov was my favorite because she is THE Nightstrider- and I was not disappointed. 

Alaric’s pov was very interesting as well because I got to see more of the inside details of a mare working for the rebellion. And there was the details of wanting to know how he was still alive. 

Ila’s point of view was very helpful for the explanations of the different dream beings and the way the world works in Borge the Reverie and the Wake. 

Caine’s pov was intriguing to watch the way he processed all of this new information, and realizing that he never really knew the people he thought he knew best. 

While some stories with so many pov’s can get confusing or boring, I was always engaged with what was going on and the cliffhangers from chapter pushed me even farther into the book to get back to that pov. 

I devoured this book in four days (in the middle of my first ComicCon) and I cannot recommend it enough. You will enter the world of your dreams (haha get it?) and find that everything is not as it seems.

Good Somnia, friends.

I read a lot of fantasy, and so sometimes it's hard to find a book that really stands out BUT NIGHTSTRIDER EXCEEDED ANY EXPECTATIONS I HAD. A unique fantasy world that is like nothing I've read before, check. My favorite trope, enemies to lovers? CHECK! (Times Two) A plot that had me hooked on every chapter? CHECK CHECK CHECK.

Nighstrider is a whirlwind of the best that fantasy can offer, and Sophia's writing is absolutely phenomenal. Nighstrider brings powers to dreams and nightmares and crafts a beautifully intricate and tragic world that I cannot wait to dive into again. The characters are amazing, the tension everything I could have wanted AND MORE, and I am still completely shook writing this review because MY GOD IT'S AMAZING.

I read a lot of fantasy, and so when I tell you YOU NEED TO ADD THIS TO YOUR TBR I MEAN IT.

Nighstrider takes place in a world divided in two, the waking realm (aka the normal fantasy world) and the reverie (the dream/nightmare world). Dreams and nightmares have the power to create monstrous and magical beings in the reverie. Magic spills from the edges as the ruler of both, Para Warwick, makes an attempt to ultimately tip the scales of power in both. You read from four POVs, the winged Assassin Nighstrider, Alaric, Queen Ila, and Prince Caine. The dynamic four are thrown into a high-stakes mission to stop the Para from ruining both worlds and save the dreamweaver-- a gifted child who has the power to maintain the divide and sees what is to come. Past and present clash as literal nightmares come to life and they must work together and survive the unsurvivable to save the realm. Step into the dark and twisted world of the reverie and into a realm of nightmares... and try your best to cling to the light...
