This was an easy-enough read that also had some interesting perspective and commentary on self-confidence, one's need for reassurance, and the nature of being highly sensitive to people, things, and your own emotions. The backdrop for this to play out in a story about deliberately effecting people's dreams worked really well and even most of the reveals were well timed and felt earned. The writing also deserves a lot of kudos, as it would've been very easy (and even common) for this type of narrative, world-building, and dynamic to lose the reader. Especially with a significant portion of the novel taking place in a dreamworld.
