Strange the Dreamer Review

 Warning: This review contains spoilers.


This book came out on my birthday! It was perfect! But how on earth do I review an experience like this novel? For one thing, the writing is gorgeous and exquisite--but you only have to open up the book and read the prologue to know that.

Let me just make a list of things I loved and things I didn't:

Things I loved:

  • The poetic writing
  • The way she describes colors
  • The fact that I had to look up a few words 
  • How it disobeyed the rules of POV, poetically and perfectly, especially during the dream sequences between Lazlo and Sarai
  • How Lazlo isn't perfectly handsome
  • The story of how his nose got broken
  • The moths and their innovative dream-magic
  • The love story and how relatable and bright it was
  • How Minya can't age
  • The prologue
  • The sense of magical, awesome wonder I got when the citadel was first described
  • The buildup to the romance  how Sarai and Lazlo don't even meet until halfway through the book
  • Minya's gift
Things I didn't love:
  • The cliffhanger!! T.T
Other thoughts:

  • I thought it was strange how absent of humor the story was until Sarai entered the picture. I haven't puzzled out what that's about yet. 
  • Check out these drawings of the characters done by BlackBirdInk

  2. The fantasy picks the visionary, not the opposite way around—and Lazlo Strange, war vagrant and junior bookkeeper, has consistently expected that his fantasy picked inadequately. Since he was five years of age he's been fixated on the mythic lost city of Weep, however it would take somebody bolder than he to cross a large portion of the world looking for it. At that point Top leather jackets a staggering open door introduces itself, in the individual of a saint called the God slayer and a band of amazing warriors, and he needs to hold onto his possibility or lose his fantasy until the end of time.
