|summary=Its exploration of the concepts of power and control by and over adolescents makes this interesting adult read, especially in a fantasy setting. It may be the nursery for this seedling of a debut for RD but there's a lot of talent showing through. R D Shanks popped into Bookbag Towers to [[The Interview: Bookbag Talks To R D Shanks|chat to us]].

''A Reverie'' would actually be a very good book club novel. Between the topical themes of power and control at either end of the social scale, the unusual use of language and the intriguing people Rachael has introduced, the discussion will continue long after the wine and snacks are exhausted. There is definitely enough here to prove Rachael's burgeoning talent, promising much from her eagerly awaited next project.
(A huge thank you to the author for providing us with a copy for review. We also have a review of [[Merlin and Guinevere: A Happenstance Meeting: Volume 1 by R D Shanks]].)
Further Reading: If this appeals and you'd like to learn more about RD Shanks' literary roots, we recommend a novel from another of her influences, namely [[Once Upon a Time in the North by Philip Pullman]].
