These sorts of things will be discussed freely below. There are elements that do not appear until well into the novel that are needed for a basic discussion of the novel as a whole. I haven’t included any out and out spoilers, but depending on your personal definition of “spoiler,” you may want to beware. Together, they may be able to prevent a second carnage. When Lazlo comes to Weep, he crosses paths with Sarai in his dreams. Sarai is godspawn-blue skinned and endowed with a magical “gift” that allows her to inhabit the dreams of the people of Weep and bring them nightmares-and she knows that the return of Eril-Fane and his group of outsiders will likely mean death. Hidden inside a citadel in Weep, Sarai and her family live hidden from the humans who would murder them on sight. He is not qualified, but his grasp of Weep’s language and deep knowledge of stories get him a ticket to Weep and a job as Eril-Fane’s secretary. Of course, Lazlo jumps at the opportunity to come. They are searching for experts to help them solve a mysterious problem. One day, a delegation from Weep appears, led by Eril-Fane, the Godslayer. What’s it about more specifically (summary with mild spoilers)? Lazlo escapes the monastery and becomes a librarian, determined to find out everything he can about Weep, and desperate to some day travel there and witness magic for himself. One day, Lazlo feels the name of the city literally wiped from his mind and replaced with the word “Weep.” This incident drives a lifelong passion for uncovering the mysteries of the Unseen City. In particular, he loves the story of a long-forgotten city filled with magic, gods, and warriors.
Lazlo Strange, a war orphan raised in a strict monastery, loves stories. For me, Strange the Dreamer falls somewhere between those two extremes. I absolutely adore her unfinished series Faeries of Dreamdark but gave up on the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series after barely making it through the first book. It seems like almost every YA fantasy fan has read-and raved about-this one, so of course I had to follow suit, despite my somewhat mixed feelings for the Taylor’s previous work. I’ve read a lot of good things about Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor.
