There's also a second living dreamwalker in the family. This woman, Charlotte, sees Layla as a threat to the family's ownership of their Gullah island and to Charlotte's personal safety. Almost immediately, Layla finds herself under attack by this much more experienced dreamwalker. The Last Dreamwalker is built around this struggle between Layla and Charlotte.
Woods does a complex and convincing bit of world-building in the first two-thirds of the novel. Readers, who know as little about dreamwalking as does Layla, learn alongside her—and face the threats of Charlotte's rage with her. Magic is afoot, a magic that is the legacy of a family of former slaves and their descendants.
The Last Dreamwalker came close to being a five-star read for me. What fell short was the novel's end, where a resolution that is not a resolution is less than convincing and leaves too many questions unanswered.
Did I enjoy The Last Dreamwalker? Yes. Would I recommend The Last Dreamwalker to others? Yes. But the pleasure lies in the gradual build of knowledge and action within the novel and not with its resolution. I'll have an eye out for what Woods writes next. The Last Dreamwalker has so much in it for readers to savor, and I'm trusting that Walkers' future books will allow readers to savor her work through to the very end.
