Customer Reviews

An Interesting Departure.

As a large fan of the Castle series I've reviewed most of the books in the lineage and one caveat I always presented was 'read them in the order they were published' and I stand by that as sound advice.Castle Dreams may be the exception. While I wouldn't read it first or second, I wouldn't shy away from reading it last...particularly because the final book Bride Of The Castle is arguably the weakest of the eight.The reason behind this is Castle Dreams is more of a 'what-if' story for the Castle Perlious Universe. It's essentially a story from a book within the Castle's vast library...a story within a story. As such, the events are fictional even within the fictional world of Castle Perlious.Personally, I stand by reading them in order, but if you want to finish the series off in a better way...save Castle Dreams for last.
