Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor.. #bookreview.

Hello World,


If anyone is like me and loves a good fantasy book, then please read on:

Strange the Dreamer is by Laini Taylor, she previously written another trilogy called Daughter of Smoke and Bone. It also turns out to be one of my favourite trilogy. When I heard Laini released another story, I was excited, but also held back. I wanted to get the book in paperback and I was scared that it would be better than Daughter of Smoke and Bone, which I love so dearly.

Taylor writing is truly majestic and has you leaving reality and into her little world. She write with such story telling and provides beauty into every character. This woman literally has pink hair and writes so well, that I can only wish I could be her.

Strange the Dreamer is about an orphan called Lazlo Strange, a man who didn't have a name and had an obsession with the unseen city 'Weep'. Lazlo spent his years growing up in a library and becoming the nicknamed 'Strange the Dreamer' through his readings of fairy tales around 'Weep'. Until one day the Godslayer Eril-Fane comes for people to come back with him to 'Weep'. Strange begs his way to come along and is granted that wish. Upon reaching 'Weep', Lazlo understands why Eril-Fane wanted these people to come with him to 'Weep' and then he is met with a beautiful girl in his dreams, who is real and who also has skin the colour of blue. Begins the adventure of Lazlo unraveling the mystery of 'Weep' and who this girl could be.

My Verdict?
I loved it! Laini Taylor once again did not disappoint me and I am so glad I did just go and buy the book instead of waiting for it come out in paperback. It is different from her previous trilogy, but still relates to what she likes to write about. Gods and Demons. Again Taylor is still able to capture you and drift you away in her beautiful story telling writing. I generally am looking forward to the next book and see how this story comes to an end.
