Dreamwielder by Garrett Calcaterra
4.0
'Dreamwielder' is the first part of The Dreamwielder Chronicles. The worldbuilding is subtle, not overly original or exotic, which means that there is more space to make this first part of a series a full and rounded novel. The characters seem age-appropriate, and most of them grow throughout this first book.
The writing-style of Calcaterra is just what I hope for in a good book: sentences not too long or too short, flowing and natural dialogues, and not too much emphasis on describing the surroundings or other things than what should be told at the moment it's signifigance appears.
I also like the way it's ending is a proper ending, even when I somehow cannot lay hands on the next installments. The problems that arise in this first part are solved, and although there are enough openings for new-problems-to-be in the next books of the series, there are no scary things left open for now.
