Laini Taylor's Strange the Dreamer follows Lazlo Strange as he is thrust from his life as a Librarian to become an adventurer, traveling to the city of his dreams Weep. This high paced fantasy novel contains complex characters and settings that are dripping in detail. Taylor's descriptions are vivid in nature, and compelling in style, urging the reader to finish the book in a single sitting. The magical systems and settings are unlike other popular Young Adult Fiction, providing an exciting reprieve. The characters, specifically Lazlo, are complex and creative, each with their own development, morphing with each dramatic and fantastical event. The entire story follows unexpected twists and turns to end in a suspenseful ending that highly encourages pursuing the second book. Strange the Dreamer is a perfect read for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Cassandra Clare and Leigh Bardugo!
