Goodreads Link: Dreamstrider by Lindsay Smith
Cover:
Synopsis (GR):

Livia is a dreamstrider. She can inhabit a subject's body while they are sleeping and, for a short time, move around in their skin. She uses her talent to work as a spy for the Barstadt Empire. But her partner, Brandt, has lately become distant, and when Marez comes to join their team from a neighborhing kingdom, he offers Livia the option of a life she had never dared to imagine. Livia knows of no other dreamstriders who have survived the pull of Nightmare. So only she understands the stakes when a plot against the Empire emerges that threatens to consume both the dreaming world and the waking one with misery and rage.
A richly conceived world full of political intrigue and fantastical dream sequences, at its heart Dreamstrider is about a girl who is struggling to live up to the potential before her.
The Interview:
Outside your book who would you “Ship” your MC
with?
Wow, that’s a tough
one. I could see Livia getting along with Kell from A Darker Shade of
Magic by V. E. Schwab; I think his cockiness would help her find some
confidence, too! She likes sweet, clever, charismatic boys, so I think she and
Peeta Mellark would work together well, also.

Currently who is your favorite author?
Right now I’m addicted
to Naomi Novik’s Uprooted, so I’m going to be delving into her
backlist. Fortunately she has a nice, big, multi-book fantasy series for me to
chew on.
Did you base some characters on people you
knew?
There are bits and
pieces of people I know in every character I write, but I don’t think any one
character has been a total copy of anyone else, either. I like to borrow my
husband’s wit, my friends’ loyalty, my parents’ names—well, I did, anyway,
for Skandal, when I needed a bunch of period-appropriate names. ;)
What is your favorite writing brain food?
Skinny Pop popcorn is
my ultimate weakness. It’s kind of getting to be a problem. I’ll pour myself a
cup and munch on popcorn while I puzzle out a plot tangle. When I finish a
draft, though, I celebrate with sushi or Italian.
About the Author:
Author of YA historical thrillers SEKRET and SKANDAL and the forthcoming YA fantasy DREAMSTRIDER (all from Macmillan Children's). Russophile, foreign affairs junkie, nerd.
