Plot Summary of Ily's Dream
"'Ily's Dream' It's got everything.
I very much enjoyed reading 'Ily's Dream' and I heartily recommend this book. Well written and like a grand fantasy roleplaying campaign game it has everything: action, world-building, magic, political intrigue and battles. 'Ily's Dream' was fun and wonderful. It kept getting better the further I read (don't we always want that?) What more could you want?

FIVE STARS *****"
