Book Review:
Title: Strange The Dreamer
Author: Laini Taylor
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
I received an ARC/PROOF of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
“You’re a storyteller. Dream up something wild and improbable," she pleaded. "Something beautiful and full of monsters."
“Beautiful and full of monsters?"
“All the best stories are.”
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.
