Dreamstrider by Lindsay Smith

Livia's character was crafted masterfully! Her lack of self-confidence was so relatable and refreshing. So many of us don't feel good enough or qualified to do the things we're expected to do, so I liked her honesty. She just wants to succeed, and always tries her hardest. The concept of dreamstriding (taking over a person's body while their sleeping) was really cool to me.

Overall, I really liked Dreamstrider. I liked the action, mystery, romance, and science. Things start out slow and were hard to get into at first, but once things really got moving I found this to be fun and unique.

After reading the prologue I knew right away that I wasn't going to click with the writing. Not that there's anything wrong with it but the descriptions were very vague and with disjointed similies/metaphors that I was more confused than anything. The premise was really intriguing and maybe the actual story is really good but I've decided not to continue.

I didn't love this book. The plot was too far fetched for my liking.
