Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
5.0
‘His nose was broken by a falling volume of fairy tales his first day on the job, and that, they said, told you everything you needed to know about strange Lazlo Strange: head in the clouds, world of his own, fairy tales and fancy.’
Laini Taylor is one of the best fantasy writers around right now, she is certainly a force to be reckoned with. This book is a fairy tale. The kind that creates myth. It opens the mind to imagination and sucks you right into this world of lost cities and gods.
Foremost, the writing is spectacular. It is littered with heavenly descriptions that one can only dream of being able to conjure up. The characters are also wonderful. The main character is an excellent centre to the story. Strong, humble, sincere, and a wonderful advocate for fantasy stories.
The story itself is fantastic. Taylor’s imagination has once again crafter a gorgeous tale full of hope, suspense, and a love that physically makes your chest ache. You become fully immersed in the world created, and you become part of the story. The story is so well rounded and fits perfectly together. You are gripped from the very beginning and are walked through a slow-paced masterpiece of imagination that is saturated with excitement and wonder.
This is definitely my favourite of Laini Taylor’s writing that I have had the pleasure of reading so far.
