Dreamstrider by Lindsay Smith

3.0

With absolutely gorgeous prose with a questionable plot and what might be a mismarketing effort, Dreamstrider is absolutely one of the more different books I've read recently for this age group. A story basically about people who can shift themselves into the dream states and use it to spy and gain information, the idea ultimately ends up being superior to the execution, which promises more political intrigue and such than it ends up delivering.

While I think older teens and adults who enjoy this sort of prose will find something to love, the end result for me was just something that I felt had more potential than it ended up showing. Wouldn't be my first teen fantasy pick, but not one to completely ignore unless you're looking for something more straightforward.
