Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

5.0

Laini Taylor wrote the hell out of this book. It is NOT predictable. It is NOT kitchy. It does NOT leave the reader wanting for lack of substance. She created a rich world with characterization that goes above and beyond most of these books that make it to the New York Times bestseller list. I am embarrassed by the books I've given more than 2 stars because I loved the story even though the writing and character development was weak. After having read Strange the Dreamer, I know you can a great story written in exceptional prose that speaks to a wider audience. I was not ready for this book and I was far from disappointed by it.

The ending though, I'm shooketh...

Because of this book, I am re-rating some of these other mediocre books I read this year and was Lazlo level kind with my rating.
