Since he was a child, Tyler Linden has dreamed of Olympic gold. And with Amaliya by his side, he’s confident that his goal is finally within reach.

My Review
Dreams of Gold
by Traci Hunter Abramson
Book 2 in the Dream’s Edge series
Rating: 4/5
Wow. I loved reading this story during the Olympics! Nathan Chen just won Olympic gold and redeemed the horror of his first Olympics four years ago. Who doesn’t like an incredible story of redemption? I loved continuing this story with Tyler and Amaliya chasing after their dreams of Olympic gold. This story moved a lot faster than the first one to get them to the the Olympics. I liked how the author tackled more of the mental aspects of figure skating. I liked how she addressed the mind games from other competitors and all the things that come with celebrity. However, I wish she had included something about seeking counseling after trauma or talking with a sports psychologist. I feel like it was a missed opportunity in an otherwise authentic and exciting script.
Highly recommend if you enjoy the not-so-easy journey to reaching your dreams and dealing with all the obstacles along the way.
