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 worl...
By 'dream', I mean 'sleep' 2.5 StarsHold your horses, people. Are we even reading the same book here? Is my copy missing something? Am I missing something literally everyone else has apparently noticed?In another life, me and Strange the Dreamer could have been friends. In another life, I would ha...
I loved this book a lot more than I thought I would. I will say until I got use to the author's writing style, the book really dragged for me. But after that and some setting up of the story, the book took off for me. And once that happened, i couldn't and didn't even want to put the book down. I l...

I think I'm in the minority here with not exactly loving this one. I listened to the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series and thoroughly enjoyed that one. While the writing in Strange the Dreamer is quite gorgeous I found myself somewhat bored. Maybe listening to the audio would have helped? I'm not su...
There's a sort of alchemy to great storytelling, a mystical transformation that takes place with more than the sum of the parts. Laini Taylor's language is beautiful. Her characters are compelling, all the truth of the archetypal without the dullness of a recycled trope. Her fantasy world-building i...
Hello Lazlo Strange. I was completely charmed by Lazlo. He was a kindred spirit. A bookworm, a hopeless magical romantic with a wild imagination, a dreamer through and through. He had this pure, untainted hopefulness that most of us adults seem to let diminish as we grow older and I just co...
