Blurb:
"Death Of Dreams" is a cluster of quotes & poems. It is deep dive into emotions, empathy, acceptance, healing and insights into a different perspective towards life. The book embraces you in silence and stillness of thoughts. The book is an attempt to connect to souls, to reflect upon them, unbiased and together embrace a new beginning and a beautiful journey called life.

My thoughts:
‘Death of Dreams’ is a short anthology that revolves around various aspects of life. The book consists of approximately 90 poems that subtly touches the ups and downs one faces in life.
The poems and quotes are of 6 lines each yet have a very powerful impact on the readers. From finding love in life and the promises of togetherness, to heartbreaks and self-love, the poetess has beautifully sketched the emotions one experiences at various stages of their lives.

Language and writing style:

The writing style is perspicuous, the language is fluent and lucid. The poetess has not employed the use of enigmatic vocabulary thus making it more of a light read.

Book cover:

The book cover is pulchritudinous and I so wish it had a paperback edition as well. It definitely would enhance the glory of my bookshelf.

Dislikes:

I personally could connect with most of the verses, but there are a few things that put the book off the road for me. I prefer reading poems with rhyming scheme. So, the content of this book was more of quotes to me, rather than poems. The poems were scrambled and not arranged in themes which sort of made it difficult for me to stick to an emotion.

Recommend?

But did I enjoy reading the book? I of course did.
Will I recommend the book to others? I undoubtedly will.
