Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

adventurous emotional mysterious slow-paced

4.75

I an absolutely wowed by this! This took dreaming and imagination to its most stunning potential, I was immediately hooked by the world and its characters. When something includes “dreamer” in the title you hope it delivers something dreamy, and this truly did. The prose flowed and drifted and took its time, which made for a slower pace but ultimately a more satisfying conclusion. I loved the mirroring between Sarai and Lazlo,
Sarai’s gift of moths and entering dreams, and Lazlo’s initial gift of exploring fantastical worlds in books were so similar and made for thought provoking points about what it is to truly live and experience the world.
. Their romance was so sweet, and even though it was a bit insta-love I immediately bought in because it felt so natural and easy. If only every man was like Lazlo Strange tbh! This will be a fun book to discuss and I can’t wait to get to the next one!
