And for anyone that hasn't read Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy - RUN don't walk. They're among my absolute favorite books - the kind you miss from the moment of their last sentence until FOREVER!(less)
I think this is aesthetic, it makes the page look lighter, less dense, more appealing.
Perhaps it also makes reading easier on the eye.(less)
More lists with this book..
Because that's Strange the Dreamer.
“On the second Sabbat of Twelfthmoon, in the city of Weep, a girl fell from the sky. Her skin was blue, her blood was red.”
This is that rare type of book that, while reading, is a constant reminder of why you fell in love with reading in the first place. This book is perfection. This book is a tangible piece of joy. The feeling while readin..more

It was impossible, of course.
But when did that ever stop any dreamer from dreaming?
Oh hell, it was gorgeous perfection.
I've been away for a while because I'm on vacation, but I just had to step back in and review this completely strange, utterly beautiful book. I've been waiting so long for Laini Taylor to steal my heart once more, and Strange the Dreamer does not disappoint.
It's so tempting when reviewing Taylor's books to talk about the writing style and language. Because it's stunning. I do..more
The incredible prose made me want to..more
Ok but can you just give me a moment while I suffocate with the beauty and perfection that is this book. I haven't had a book totally steal my soul like this in so so long and I am just !!!!! basically fifty million exclamation marks. TheRE IS NO END TO HOW MUCH I LOVE IT. I just..like the foreshadowing, the descriptions, the vivid lush world, the exquisite detail, the myths and legends, the characters who simply do not just stay on a page. They are so so real.
This is the kin..more
This time I actually finished it, I listened to the audiobook, and it was better but still lots of unnecessary filler that prevented me from really getting into the story. Really sad I didn't enjoy it more but oh well, I gave it a fair shot!
*DNF Jan 2017
I never, like literally never, DNF books but this is one that I just couldn't do. I was so incredibly confused the whole time I read it. It was so all over the place I couldn't even bring myself to read any further. DNFed @ pg 150..more
boy do I feel like someone resurrected me from the dead badly
I wonder if anyone with bulky muscular arms is willing to hug me right now, I want to be compressed back to death because I’ve decided to abandon humanity to become an orb of energy and light instead and just live photogenically until The Muse of Nightmares is out.

I honestly still don't know what to rate this, so I'm going with 3.5 stars.
Wow, so it took me nearly two months to finish this book. Here's the thing. The writing quite literally slays, and so does the characterization. My struggle was this: Half the time, I was sitting there in awe, thinking 'This is the best book EVER WRITTEN' ahhh. The other half? I could barely get through a page before falling asleep. There would be pages and pages of descriptions - and while they were..more
I avoided reading Strange The Dreamer for a looooongggg time. I have a record of epic high fantasy with lyrical prose not sitting well with me and combined with my inability to grasp the synopsis before reading, I was greatly intimidated by this book. How glad I am that I finally gave it a chance and took my time with it because I can't imagine having not experienced this story!
“Beautiful and full of monsters?'Love that feeling when you start a series and immediately realize there's no going back to normal.
“All the best stories are.”
Actual footage of me entering this fandom:
There were SO many elements of this story that really worked for me (MINUS THE SO-CALLED LOVE!!!)
Lazlo Strange, an orphaned child, was always fascinated by tales of the missing city - he would make-believe all sorts of adventures.
One day, while playing alone in the monastery orchard, somethi..more
This book made me feel hopeful. Validated my views and feelings I’ve always known to be true to my own self. Then Laini Taylor comes along and drops this bomb of a magic on us and my feelings were cemented by a ten-fold.

“Beautiful and full of monsters?'
“All the best stories are.”
This quote is basically a short summary of the entire book because “Strange the Dreamer” is indeed a story about something beautiful and full of monsters. Well, actually some might even say it’s a story about “beautiful monsters' and you certainly would be more than just right to put it that way. ;-)
Those beautiful m..more
laini taylor is a straight-up godsend. she’s masterful at writing characters you care about, at building worlds down to the dust in the corner of a room, at creating conflicts that are analogous to a reader’s experiences despite being set in imaginary realms populated by creatures not-quite-human, and she’ll rip your heart out with zero regrets.
this book opens with the death of a character you’ve never met, so your..more
Overall I think this book is overhyped.
I reread this via the audiobook and the audiobook is AMAZING!
1st read: Aug-Sep 2018
this is my favourite book of all time and my heart is bursting with love for this book.
That's really the heart of what every reader desires in a fantasy world, right? Where there is no great risk, there is nothing worth losing, and where there is nothing worth losing, there is nothing worth reading. Perhaps that is the pinnacle of this book's excellence, but it's certainly not it's only great feature. I knew from the moment I dove in that this story would be special; the three pages of prologue were mo..more
You are in for a treat.
I mean, if you are a Laini Taylor fan and like her elaborate prose and rich worldbuilding and, let's be frank, romances with a whiff of instalove, I don't see how this book can disappoint you. It surely didn't disappoint me.
The story starts with a hungry orphan dreaming of a magic city beyond a vast desert where all kinds of wonders live. And ends.. Well, I'll stop here because the biggest pleasure in reading Taylor's books is unspooling a wondrous ya..more

A new Laini Taylor book, you say? Don’t mind if I do…
Perhaps you’d like some footage of me, when I accidentally found an autographed copy of my favourite author’s new book:
Let’s just start off by taking a moment to appreciate the fact that Strange the Dreamer was selected as a Michael L. Printz honour book (the silver sticker on the cover). All I can say is that it is extremely well-dese..more
Peculiar. Resplendent. Gripping.
These are just a couple of words that race through my mind when I consider Strange the Dreamer.
Laini Taylor has solidified her spot as one of my favorite authors with this release.
I am unapologetically in love with her style of writing. I am a shameless worshiper of her artistry for willing forth magnificent worlds & characters & scenarios from her pen.
I devour he..more
Not the kind of goddess who brings despair to your spirit, but the kind who appeases it with angelic words.
If you remember, this book’s publication date was postponed. It was released in March of 2017, but was supposed to hit the shelves months before.
I, like many others, was heartbroken when I got the news. I was even annoyed. How dare Laini Taylor do this to us? How dare she tease us in such a way?
Well. I can say, from the bottom of my hear..more

i think i've tried to review strange the dreamer like 19 times now and i still don't have the words to describe the magic that is this book. because, really, how do you put 'magic' into words??? i will let you know the day i find out, and then i will make the whole world read this book, because that's what i was sent to earth for.
in the meanwhile, i'll let you know that this reads basically as a magical bedtime story, and it makes me feel safe and warm and..more
As a boy at the abbey, stories had been Lazlo's only wealth.
He was richer now.
Now he had books.
Those of you who’ve been following my reviews and rant-views for a while, already know that my first experience with Laini Taylor and her Daughter of. was a complete failure.
I kind of enjoyed the writing, even if I found it a little pompous and confusing, and the plot was not bad either, but my main problems were the characters and their interactions.
I couldn’t be happier to admit that Strange the..more
❝Dream up something wild and improbable. Something beautiful and full of monsters.❞
I finally get it. I get the shrines built for Laini Taylor, the adoration of her faithful fans, because after diving into her whimsical and peculiar stories of boys and girls consumed by hunger, swallowing fairy tales and miracles and plums, dreaming big and loving tenderly and passionately,not worshipping her is not an option. It’s a reflective response. I can’t tell you the e..more

Strange The Dreamer Plot
An instant New York Times bestseller and Michael L. Printz honor book! Eleven best of lists including an NPR Best Book, a Goodreads Best YA Fantasy and Science Fiction Nominee, and more! From National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor comes an epic fantasy about a mythic lost city and its dark past. The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around--and 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 form 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? And who is the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams? In this sweeping and breathtaking novel by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, the shadow of the past is as real as the ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. Fall into a mythical world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage. The answers await in Weep.
