A review by heartbrekker
Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor
5.0
EVERY STAR THAT HAS EVER EXISTED AND BURNED OUT AND BEEN REBORN AND SHOT ACROSS THE SKY AND JUST BEEN IN THE BLINKING SKY IS GIVEN TO THIS BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL BOOK. ALL THE PAIN AND LOVE AND HOPE MOST OF ALL.
Sarai, Lazlo, Minya, and all the other side characters grow so much throughout this story. Anyone who ever declares these characters as solely good or evil needs to read through again because Laini Taylor is a master at the grey morality scale. You just can’t help but feel for the “villains.” It’s honestly all about perspective in MON.
I never thought my heart could be torn to shreds in a similar manner to Strange the Dreamer, but I was wrong. It’s so rare for me to feel so many emotions while reading, and this novel brought it all.
Everyone knows Laini is a master at writing lyrically, poetically, and humorously, so I don’t think I need to go off on a tangent in terms of that. It’s still there, and it’s as beautiful as ever. Her quotes leave good bumps on my arms as well as a dreamlike wonder.
I think you’ll be left with a lot of thought provoking ideas upon finishing this finale. The best books always do. There’s sweetness and pain and heart break and hope. It asks these young characters to make choices that determine not only their own fate but others as well. Laini weaves a realistic and fantastical world perfectly together.
I felt as if all my necessary questions were answered because we learn so much, and my only real desire is to have more. Though obviously I’d want more from this world because STD/ MON are my favorite books.
So my favorite books and written word are finished, but also.. are they?
