Narrative Supposing Books Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer #1)
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. What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving? The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries—including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo’s dreams. How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real? Welcome to Weep.Specify Books To Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer #1)

It was impossible, of course.But when did that ever stop any dreamer from dreaming? Oh hell, it was gorgeous perfection.I've been away for a while because I'm on vacation, but I just had to step back in and review this completely strange, utterly beautiful book. I've been waiting so long for Laini Taylor to steal my heart once more, and Strange the Dreamer does not disappoint.It's so tempting when reviewing Taylor's books to talk about the writing style and language. Because it's stunning. II liked the first half of the book. The world building was interesting, the magical powers of the children of the dead gods were interesting.... but then the second half was mostly a love story. A YA insta-love story... It ended up reducing my rating.Overall I think this book is overhyped.
This was a dream to reread. I'm thinking about how to review this and honestly, words fail me, so this'll be an attempt. I mean, I will try and somewhat make this cohesive. But nothing will do it justice. You will have to discover the story for that. This book made me feel hopeful. Validated my views and feelings Ive always known to be true to my own self. Then Laini Taylor comes along and drops this bomb of a magic on us and my feelings were cemented by a ten-fold.Lazlo Strange is a bookworm. A
4.5 stars!! Wow this book truly blew me away!!!I avoided reading Strange The Dreamer for a looooongggg time. I have a record of epic high fantasy with lyrical prose not sitting well with me and combined with my inability to grasp the synopsis before reading, I was greatly intimidated by this book. How glad I am that I finally gave it a chance and took my time with it because I can't imagine having not experienced this story!
READ #2, Sept 2018Ok but can you just give me a moment while I suffocate with the beauty and perfection that is this book. I haven't had a book totally steal my soul like this in so so long and I am just !!!!! basically fifty million exclamation marks. TheRE IS NO END TO HOW MUCH I LOVE IT. I just...like the foreshadowing, the descriptions, the vivid lush world, the exquisite detail, the myths and legends, the characters who simply do not just stay on a page. They are so so real. This is the
Blown. Away.That was incredible.
