Dreamstrider by Lindsay Smith

This was a good book, and I'm definitely going to seek out more by the author. However this one just missed the mark of being great.
The premise has an interesting magic system that you can almost believe might be possible in the real world if you don't focus too hard, which helps draw you in and make you want to believe in the premise to see what happens. The book does a great job of keeping itself focused, since it is a standalone story. There are a couple plot points that all get cleaned up nicely without making you feel like anything/anyone was forgotten about.
Your dreams are your powers. Hope is necessary, but not easily come by, and if you try hard enough you can make your own wishes come true.
