“It was impossible, of course. But when did that ever stop a dreamer from dreaming?“ Books in the Strange the Dreamer Series (by Laini Taylor) ↳ Strange the Dreamer (Book #1) ↳ Muse of Nightmares (Book #2) About the Book: The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around—and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared his dream chose poorly. Since he was just 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 form of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever. What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? And who is the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams? In this sweeping and breathtaking novel by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, the shadow of the past is as real as the ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. Fall into a mythical world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage. The answers await in Weep. A Note from Me: Once in a while, you get to read a book that reminds you of why you fell in love with reading and fantasy in the first place, and this was one of them. The author said herself that these books are “a love letter to fantasy readers and the power of story“ and I think that’s exactly how these books felt when I was reading them - the atmosphere the writing creates is just so surreal and easy to get lost in, and every puzzle piece of the world fits together so elegantly. It explores themes of hope, tolerance, endurance, memory, and the different ways forgiveness and revenge are intertwined in the processing of trauma, and is overall, a beautiful story.
