Dreamflower has to be one of the most faithful mimics of Tolkien's style in [The Hobbit] I have ever read, and that's meant as a great compliment. She really nails the tone and style of that story for me, and in doing so, gives her characterizations, especially of hobbits, but also of Dwarves, Rangers, wizards, and Tom Bombadil, immediate resonance and credibility with the reader. We see the world through Dreamflower's Bilbo in a manner eerily similar to the way we see it through Tolkien's Bilbo. This stylistic mimicry makes her an extremely effective writer of gap-fillers. One can believe immediately that this is how it might have happened, if Tolkien had thought to show this part of the story. I can recommend her work to anyone who wants to revisit [The Hobbit] but in places and times Tolkien did not choose to write.

IIRC, I 'discovered' Dreamflower during the MEFA's - can't remember which year - and she's another one who makes me *head in hands* because "I don't read Hobbits" .. well, except for ... LOL! She has an extraordinary attention to detail, not only in her description, but in the layers of canon, backstory and characterization that makes all of her works a delight to read.

Dreamflower writes hobbits well, keeping them light and cute but still giving them depth. Her writing develops relationships that seem to fit into the canon nicely.

Dreamflower writes within an intricate and well developed universe. She is an enjoyable writer of every genre, but I do enjoy her more adventurous stories. No matter what the peril, her characters tackle it in a way appropriate to their race.
