I feel like I can’t even say enough how much I loved it. WHERE DREAMS DESCEND is one of those books I’m going to want to read again like next week just to savor it all over again. I really enjoyed this book, though it did have a bit of a slow start for me. Where Dreams Descend is a young adult fantasy book that is filled with atmospheric magic, twists and turns, a dangerous and dark world and plenty of secrets. I couldn’t wait to read every page, and I dreaded reaching the final chapter, too, because then it would be over. Where Dreams Descend is the first book in the Kingdom of Cards series by Janella Angeles. 'Janella Angeles steals the 2020 show with her fiercely imagined debut starring larger than life characters, a dangerous world alive with magic, and a dizzying dose of grab-a-fainting-couch-and-swoon-away romance' - Roshani Chokshi 'Where Dreams Descend is a glamorous dark gem of a tale, sparkling with romance, magic, and intrigue. The beginning started out a little bit slow for me, but once the competition began, I was completely hooked. The strong sisterhood of performers coming together to support one another. The mysterious dangers lurking throughout the competition and some characters’ pasts. This story hit so many perfect notes for me. (Fun fact– DeMarco was my great-grandmother’s name.) I loved her relationship with Aaros, the thief she takes under her wing to be her magician’s assistant in the competition.

She’s a take no prisoners, driven, smart, savvy lady who never gives up. I feel like I keep saying that, but honestly, there have been so many great books this year! WHERE DREAMS DESCEND is definitely near if not at the top of my list.


This might be the best book I’ve read all year.
