![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author Laini Taylor knows how to weave an allegorical story of gods and men, how to build a romance through dreams and delights, and how to make readers' hearts stop when they reach the last page. When he meets Sarai, a blue-skinned goddess, he is faced with the hugest mystery of all: he's met her before. In Weep, Lazlo finds some of the answers he's looking for - but he also finds himself with more and more questions, too. But then an opportunity to visit the city presents itself - and Lazlo must seize the day and his dream, even if it means following a hero called the Godslayer and a legendary band of warriors into the unknown. A war orphan and a junior librarian, Lazlo has always been obsessed with the mythic city of Weep, but he has never been brave enough to traverse the earth to find it. On the ground, protagonist and titular character Lazlo Strange seeks more than the life he has. The first line prepares readers for the beauty of the world she creates along with the ominous journey the characters will face: “On the second Sabbat of Twelfthmoon, in the city of Weep, a girl fell from the sky.” From the title alone, Strange the Dreamer invokes the mystery of many of Laini Taylor’s novels. ![]()
