ALL OF THE WORLD'S DREAMS ARE ABOUT TO DIE. The Shadow People have come. Always near, they linger in the darkness, ready to devour dreams, hopes, aspirations and desires. An ancient race, the Tuatha Dé Danaan are the guardians of dreams. Having lost a war against the Celtic invaders of Ireland, they have been exiled to another world, Tír na nÓg. Ith, the Lord of Shadows, is waging a war against the Tuatha Dé Danaan in order to control the dreams of mankind. Fashion student Erin O’Neil never thought she would one day learn to fly, or that she would meet a cat that works in a library, or that she would be able to conjure up whatever she wanted with just a thought. All she has ever known is a dreary world where dreams wither away into oblivion. Following a ball of light into another world, Erin discovers that she’s a Faerie Changeling and that her true name is Aisling. Troubled by the fact that her faerie parents are kidnappers, she has decided to rescue the human child she was exchanged for. What she didn’t expect is that she would fall in love with a handsome, mysterious stranger.

I guess I thought so because 'Mark' had an excellent way of painting a scene with descriptions of clothing By wonderhead Wow, Mark, when you read on a kindle a person does not see the authors name very often. I had assumed that the author was a woman. I guess I thought so because 'Mark' had an excellent way of painting a scene with descriptions of clothing. At first, I was bored by it, but then I bought it, and it became easy to picture the scene via clothing. And, hair color and hair style. Facial and physical descriptions became part of the background. I admire his artistic writing method.But I had a hard time grasping his reality. Shadow, Faery, and Us. Or, Shadow/Faery and Us. The plot takes the heroine from us to Faery where magic is real. Mark gets it right when he shows that in a world of magic, the nature of the world would be war, as Shadow battles Faery. Magic invalidates physical laws, so the environment is whatever kind of magic any author imagines.Mark seemed to imagine magic as a genetic characteristic which was optimized by adopting a certain magic abilities. Reality was created by making inanimate things magic so that there could be places. These places were an alternate earth. The characters could cross over to any of the three worlds but mostly shadow attacked Faery and they left us alone. The only aspect of reality which was consistent in all three worlds was time, I mean, you have to have a plot.Well, when anything you can imagine comes true, kind of like writing a novel, Mark went Middle Ages on us. War. I would have been more interested in how Mark imagined a magic based economy, or maybe family life, and then answer the question of how you die in a magic world. For that matter, how you are born. When you can rearrange molecules, like a star going nova, with just a thought, is there any crucible left for a plot? Give us readers a mechanism, imagine something, as to how you think magic would work in a magical world.

Review: The Dream Crystal (The Dream War Series, #1) by Mark O'Bannon By Amazon Customer In this novel we meet Aisling, who finds out, after a series of events that she is a faerie changeling.Along with this comes the knowledge that she has a 'sister', well the girl she was exchanged with, and she decided to find her but soon learns that she has been taken by the Shadow People.I think that is secondary plot, though I am still not positive. As the name we also have the plot about the actual Dream Crystal about which the book is named. We get three worlds in this novel-- the human world I guess, the shadow world and the land of dreams, which is where all the fairies live.We meet a lot of interesting people from all three among them are, Genevieve a human and Aisling's best friend. Eileen, a faerie. Ith, the shadow king.One of the reasons this novel only gets three stars was because of several little things that bothered me. It was nothing that affected the story as a whole but did cause a slow pace at times.Example: There were many character in the book and while some such as Aisling, Erin and Elaine was easy to remember we get a lot of other characters, mostly male now that I think back on it, that I couldn't really keep straight.Above is a very vague premiss of what this book is about I would try to give a more in-depth one but just do not think it is possible without giving everything away.When it came down to it I find I could not love Aisling, like her yes, but not love her. She just seemed slightly artificial to me and kind of a tease if you will. Also, I never felt a very strong connection with her, which is strange as the novel is only her POV.Altogether I really did like the novel and think it is a good first book and look forward to see more in the series.I would recommend this novel to anyone interested in a novel about fairies or a slightly long fantasy.*I received an Ebook copy of this book for free to review from the author.

Good Fantasy Novel; The Dream Crystal By S.Leighanne ** I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review **I enjoyed reading The Dream Crystal. I like fantasy, and its not something that I have read a whole lot of, but I did enjoy reading this. Mark does a fantastic job of transporting you into the world of the fairies. There are 3 actual worlds, the dream world, the shadow world, and the human world and they mirror each other geographically, since they're more like alternate dimensions.There were a lot of characters, and sometimes they got a little bit confusing, and some of the names are a little hard to pronounce, but luckily, there is a handy dandy appendix in the back with the cast of characters and how to pronounce the troubling names. I also struggled with whether I liked some of the characters, my biggest struggle being Aisling. She's very proud and passionate, and she seems very into herself and her looks at certain points, which made me unsure of whether I really liked her. But as the story went on, she grew on me. Also, because Aisling wants to become a fashion designer, there is a lot of attention to detail about what the characters are wearing. In most of the scenes there was a description of the characters and everything that they were wearing.I also liked the emphasis put on the Celtic history and the occurrence of Gaelic phrases throughout the book. My family being Irish, I could really appreciate this and I thought that it really added to the novel.However, I did feel at times that the story dragged because of all of the detail that was put in and it just didn't feel like it was important to the story line at times. At times there was also an overwhelming amount of things happening in each chapter, so sometimes I had to backtrack to make sure that I understood what was going on. Also, as previously stated, the vast cast of characters also created some confusion.Overall, it was a good story, with a good plot, good characters. The writing was solid, but a little less attention to detail might do well in the future. I recommend this book to lovers of fantasy, especially if you like faeries. I give this novel a solid 3.5 out of 5!
