Can you imagine a world without dreams? And I don't just mean the dreams we have when we're in bed, I mean dreams of our futures, our goals, and all the possibilities of a wonderful life filled with love and happiness!  What a sad world this would be!! This is the world Aisling is facing!In the Dream Crystal fairies come alive to the young Erin/Aisling when she enters the Land of Dreams with her friend Genevieve, after Aisling dreams of becoming a fashion designer start to drizzle.  Not only are there fairies in this new land she is in but there is a war brewing between the fairies and The Shadow People.The Dream Crystal will take you in a to a fantasy life like no other book.  I have read a few books on fairies before but nothing quite this unique.  The Shadow People add a whole new aspect to fairies and if I was completely honest, I'd have to admit that I was attracted to the Shadow People.  There was something mysterious and alluring about them even though there was sadness in their eyes!There are many battles going on in The Dream Crystal and Mark O'Bannon creates a vivid account and you really feel like you are right there watching the battle before you! The characters are all very interesting and I was rooting for Aisling to succeed and to see her dreams come true right from chapter one.If you are a fan of Fantasy fiction and fairies you will enjoy The Dream Crystal, it is action packed and full of a unique story line that you won't be disappointed.  The only reason I gave The Dream Crystal 4 stars instead of 5 is because I am not a huge fan of all the action and intense battles but that is only my preference and I don't think it'll bother most readers.  If you are a fan of fantasy fiction and fairies you will enjoy The Dream Crystal, it is action packed and full of a unique story line that you won't be disappointed.I received this book free from the author in exchange for my honest and personal opinion of the book.
