Not to mention she is in Prince Kovis' bedchamber surrounded by his guards. In the early draft, the first chapter was a bit confusing, but as I kept reading, I felt it was meant to be this way because Ali is in a new place with magic that she doesn't understand and a human form that is new to her. Once Ali and her sister figure out his plans, Ali is left with no other choice but to escape to Wake to get away from her abusive father and protect Kovis. Ali's father is the ruler of Dream and is bent on controlling the people of Wake, through the use of "mares" he can enter a person's mind and take control. In Dream realm, Alissandra (Ali) is one of many sand people helping the people of Wake to slumber and dream each night, her charge is Prince Kovis, a man whom she cares deeply for. I highly recommend reading this book to older teens and up.Lullaby consists of a world split into a Dream and Wake realm with both having their own unique magical systems.
The end is clearly a set up for a third book in the series, but still is satisfying… for now. I really found myself caring about what happened to the characters and really rooting for a happy ending. The character development of Ali, Kovis, and even Kennan is extremely well done. I loved how the story unfolded, usually from Ali’s viewpoint, but occasionally from Kovis’s. It is also a story of overcoming abuse, coming out stronger than thought to be possible. Lullaby blends excitement and romance to weave a story that draws you in and makes it hard to put down at night (I lied to myself so many times when I said “just one more chapter”). Meanwhile, Ali’s father is still after her and trying take over Wake Realm by controlling people in their sleep.
Then the Council discovers she has powerful magic and decides to eliminate her in the Ninety-Eight. First she has to convince Kovis (and Kennan) that her story is true and she means them no harm. Ali the Sand Maiden has made it to Wake Realm, but all is not as simple as she expected it to be.
