Lazlo Strange, Junior Librarian at the Great Library of Zosma, raised as an orphan in a monastery, has always dreamed of the mysterious city of Weep, which has had no contact with the outside world for 200 years. When Eril Fane the Godslayer, liberator of Weep, arrives unexpectedly in Zosma looking for help fixing the city's problems, Lazlo becomes his secretary and finds himself thrust into the world he has always imagined. After a strange blue girl named Sarai infiltrates his dreams, Lazlo finds unexpectedly that he is the key to saving Weep. In the spirit of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, Taylor has created a vivid, fantastical world full of deep, colorful characters. She explores powerful emotions, the power and consequences of love and hate, and the depths of the human psyche. Beautifully written and incredibly powerful, this book pulls you in and holds your attention for all of its considerable length. The cliffhanger ending will leave you eagerly looking forward to the sequel!
