Title: Strange the Dreamer
Author:Laini Taylor
Publisher: Little Brown Books for Young Readers
Pages: 536
Synopsis:(from GoodReads)
The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around—and
Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always
feared that his dream chose poorly.
Since he was five years old he’s been obsessed with the mythic
lost city of Weep,
but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it.
Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero
called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he
has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.
Rating: 5/ 5
I hadn’t read anything from Laini Taylor since I completed her
Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy. And boy was I in for a treat when I
picked up Strange the Dreamer, in the trilogy, it was mostly Karou’s point
of view throughout the book. I LOVED THAT IT WAS MAINLY LAZLO’S
POINT OF VIEW IN THIS BOOK!! It did take me a bit to get through
Strange the Dreamer as I started my second semester right after picking up
this book as my current read. I love how Laini is able to give us such vivid
imagery with her words in all of her books that I have read so far.
I loved Sarai too, and Minya was not one of my favorites but I liked having her
anger towards the people of Weep compared to the rest of the godspawn.
It threw a nice little twist into the story. I cannot wait to pick up book 2, since it
is titled Muse of Nightmares aka Sarai.
