The cliches work
Things work out, and the odd and strange Magic’s make sense and the story remains about people, and relationships, and not the world itself. It’s a hopefully tale with true friendships and this book and author remain some of the best YA (and not just for YA) that I’ve read. I liked the sensitive portrayal of pain and abuse, which didn’t go overboard into torture. Worth your time— as a stand-alone or in series.

After reading this book, I discovered it was the third book in a loosely connected trilogy. That would explain why it felt like I had come in midway into a conversation. That said, it is not necessary to read the first two to enjoy this one. I enjoyed the characters but thought the plot was a bit truncated and the character development minimal. I'll be picking up the first two books to see if that changes my understanding of The Dream-Maker's Magic.
