From Booklist
Magic exists only in stories, or at least that’s what Aisling of Bruadair grew up believing. Thrown into a world full of elves and mages, she is close to completing her quest. With the help of Rùnach of Ceangail, a scarred elven prince who lost his magic, her task of finding a swordsman to save her country is almost complete. Rùnach desires a simple life, but the more time he spends with Aisling, the more he realizes that the future is more uncertain than ever. Aisling is human, so how does she manage to control the elements and speak in languages she never learned? How did a spell book he crafted wind up full of mysterious markings? Aisling and Rùnach must solve these mysteries before the answers wind up in the wrong hands, and time is running out. This story continues Dreamspinner (2012), and contributes to Kurland’s many-titled Nine Kingdoms saga. Here Kurland crafts a beautifully detailed world full of magic and steeped in a rich history that paranormal romance and fantasy readers will get lost in. --Patricia Smith

We are now up to Book 8 in the Nine Kingdoms series. My review is below, but first, here's the list of books in the somewhat-confusing timeline of the Nine Kingdoms and a bit of explanation regarding how they fit together leading up to where we're at right now:
Two Prelude short stories, found in anthologies with other authors:
The Queen in Winter ("A Whisper of Spring" When Symon, the first king of Neroche, woos and wins Iolaire)
To Weave a Web of Magic (The Tale of Two Swords where Mehar and Gilraehen fall in love)
Miach and Morgan's story is told in:
1 - Star of the Morning
2 - The Mage's Daughter
3 - Princess of the Sword
Ruith and Sarah's story (which OVERLAPS Miach and Morgan's story in the timeline) is told in:
4 -
Author Lynn Kurland continues her Nine Kingdoms series with her latest book, River of Dreams. This is a fantasy novel that will draw readers in with Kurland's phenomenal powers of description and superb world building skills. A mix of both romance and magic, this is a tale of woman trying desperately to save her kingdom and an elven prince who joins her quest. It is a journey of self-discovery and most of the weaving and welding of magic in a magical land.
A great addition to the series!
What I liked:
This was my first experience reading a Lynn Kurland novel. Though I had seen the Nine Kingdom series around I had never had the opportunity to review one of the novels before. I was excited, being a fan of high fantasy in general and magic in the extreme. I certainly was not disappointed. Kurland has gift for description that doesn't often come along. She can put words together that seem to flow like poetry. This book is worth reading just based on that. If you love words and how the can bring to life scenes that you may never have seen before, this book is amazing. Kurland is a skilled wordsmith.
Another things that really stands out about River is Dreams is the world building. Fantasy and Science Fiction writers have either a challenge or a curse when it comes to dreaming up and writing about worlds that the reader has never heard of or that don't exist. They can either be horrible at it or very good at, as Kurland is. I haven't read the other books in the series, but it obvious from reading this one that Kurland has created a world based on magic and magical principles. It doesn't work like our world and wasn't meant to.
