Strange the Dreamer BOOK REVIEW

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? 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?
Welcome to Weep.

This was my first book by Laini Taylor and I absolutely fell in love with the world building. The characters were very rich and immersive. They had great depth and their actions were backed by reasons. This is one of those books where the less you know, the better. This book also posed a conundrum between Gods and humans. This was a really interesting way to portray morally gray characters via juxtaposition. I also loved the beautiful imagery of every dream and the bittersweet moments of each scene. The characters Sarai and Lazlo were definitely the most interesting characters I’ve ever read. I highly recommend this to everyone even if this not your normal pick.
