Yesterday, I put up my
fantasy cast for Dreamhunter, the first of Elizabeth Knox's duet of the same name. Today, I have the sequel,
Dreamquake
on deck.
There aren't really any "new" characters in this book, it's mostly just secondary characters from the first book coming into the foreground.
Sandy Mason is the first character to really make a bigger scene than in the first book. He's a dreamhunter that received his license to hunt dreams at the same time as Laura Hame, the main protagonist. He's a little bit older; tall, handsome, opinionated and from an upbringing that doesn't mesh well with Laura's. I wonder how that will work out for them ::suggestive eyebrow waggling:: I pictured
Ryan Gosling... but I wonder if audiences would freak out about him supposedly being an item with a 16 year old girl. Bah, it's my blog, my pick. Ryan Gosling for Sandy!

Cas Doran is the villain, an ambitious and selfish politician (where have I heard that before...) who has found a way to exploit the dreamhunters for his personal gain. It's pretty freaking ingenious, actually; I would shake his hand if I didn't want to shank him. Slick, devious, powerful- who but
Jeffrey Donovan?

Mamie Doran is Cas Doran's daughter; a debutante and a spoiled brat. She's self centered and unfriendly and just downright unpleasant. She's loosely associate with the other girls, Laura and Rose, but she's brought to the forefront in this book. She's supposed to be fuller figured than the others, and she's pretty obnoxious. I know this is based on my hatred of the character she currently plays on a less-than-awesome show, but I cannot help it. I saw
Jennifer Stone in my head.

Lazarus is the man who we finally meet near the end of the book who finally explains everything; The Place, the dreams, the nightmares, the whole mystery. He's a hardened criminal in his forties or fifties, but there's a softer side to him- a history and a story that makes you want to hug him anyway. I like
Scott Patterson, a man who comes across as blue collar, through and through, but has the hints of finer society around his edges and can make you really believe that he's
good despite all the bad that's happened.
