Reactions and Reviews
This novel is the continuation of Wyllis' “Shadows Like to Thee” in A Different Dream 2. The previous SND story returns C to V's care in the tunnels. With that out of the way, the current novel presents a very complex plot whose major component is C's returning to work, at Joe's insistence, and picking up a prosecution she'd previously worked on: a man named Waller, a crime boss who specializes in making “accidents” happen to anyone who jeopardizes him. Subplots involve Elliot (misbehaving) and D (investigating). C buys a brownstone and she and V settle in Above, despite her being stalked by a persistent reporter. Enough plots and subplots here for five or six novels, and some of the turns may make you blink and wonder, “How did she get from that to this?” But most readers won't be bothered by the overcomplications and coincidences and will enjoy the fine characterization of C & V, in particular. Elliot, Joe, and Father are also tellingly portrayed, as well as Mouse, William, and Diana. More is bitten off, here, than is fully chewed or dramatized, but the thinking is consistently original and interesting...and the writing, particularly the dialogue, is first rate. Many tender C/V moments. Well written, edited, and presented, this is one of the best SND continuations around.[1]
