About the Book: D is called into a town that is like a haven of safety in an otherwise dreary and dangerous world. Once even Nobility, the vampires, lived here in peace with humans. Once. Now the townsfolk are on their own, and aren’t harboring the best of feelings for the nobility due to one young woman, who, bitten, fell asleep, and slept like this, not aging, for decades. The fact that everyone here dreamed of D at least once makes the hunter wonder if it’s not the sleeping woman herself who called him here, as no one seems to know who else could it have been, or even why.
My Opinion: It’s not an easy read as it’s pretty dull plot-wise. But I do like the strange ideas, all the unusual visuals written. In this book it’s hard to tell what’s real, and what’s a dream, for the tale is a dream within a dream. So you read and try to keep all of the strings in mind, connecting their ends as someone somewhere wakes up or falls asleep. Pretty good if it wasn’t for the horribly gorgeous D who bothers everyone with his mere presence. I’m really looking forwards to his own history crumbs though, as it seems he’ll be related to Dracula.

I really enjoyed this book. The dream world premise was interesting to read. My only issue is that I would have like to have some back story on some of the characters to get a better picture of why everything was happening. But other than that, it was a good book.

Wow. The writing style in this one is so much better that I thought it must have been a new translator. If you like the stories but the writing was bothering you in the previous ones, don't stop before you get here. It's a vast improvement.
I love the actual plot of this one too. Good stuff. I'm going to keep reading these for sure now!

Ok... fue un libro extraño de leer D: También batalle mucho porque... no sé. Realmente creo fue algo predecible desde el título. La temática de actuar dentro de un sueño es tan utilizada que era predecible por la sinopsis de que iba. Lo único que me arrastró a seguir leyendo fue la esperanza de que se revelara algo más aparte de que todo era un sueño.
Lo gocé, como fan, pero fue una lectura tediosa.
Llevo cinco libros y la formula se repite otra vez:
D
chica acomapañante de turno:
personaje masculino secundario que cae bien:
personaje masculino de fondo que la trae contra D.
XD realmente Hideyuki no se quebraba la cabeza.
Supongo que esta historia en su momento (mediados de los ochenta) fue muy éxitosa, pero actualmente... buee.

Whilst it has some fun parts it also has a lot of cliches and 80s excess which made it hard for me to read.
