Resumen del Editor

The highly anticipated, thrilling sequel to the New York Times best seller, Strange the Dreamer, from National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the best-selling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy.

Sarai has lived and breathed nightmares since she was six years old. She believed she knew every horror, and was beyond surprise. She was wrong.

In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep.

Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice—save the woman he loves, or everyone else?—while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of.

As humans and godspawn reel in the aftermath of the citadel's near fall, a new foe shatters their fragile hopes, and the mysteries of the Mesarthim are resurrected: Where did the gods come from, and why? What was done with thousands of children born in the citadel nursery? And most important of all, as forgotten doors are opened and new worlds revealed: Must heroes always slay monsters, or is it possible to save them instead?

Love and hate, revenge and redemption, destruction and salvation all clash in this gorgeous sequel to the New York Times best seller, Strange the Dreamer.

Deeply satisfyingly!

Real characters with deeply meaningful stakes in a rich fantasy setting that resonates with the human condition of the here and now. Wonderful narration, wonderful writing, wonderful storytelling!

love the feel of this books world.

Love this book!. the characters ... the unpredictability and the whole vibe of the story. it is a story of redemption and forgiveness, ultimately . will there be a book 3? judging by the last sentence....possibly!

Incredible!

I loved this audio book. Spoken so well. And the story was amazing and creative and painful and beautiful. What a joy.

Just fabulous. Well crafted and narrated. More!

This author takes no shortcuts and pulls no punches. Her descriptions and prose are music to read and hear. Her storytelling is amazing. This series is in my top 10 of all time.

Just loved it! Must listen to it again.

I discovered Laini Taylor with her Smoke and Bone series but I have to say that I think I love these stories even more. I just did not want the audio book to end! Amazing character arcs, immersive colors and story lines are intricately weaved throughout this book. I am going to enjoy listening to it again because I can see that there are so many layers. Wow Laini thank you for your art and imagination. Also wonderful narration by Steve West! Who portrayed each character with exquisite subtlety and finesse. Beautifully narrated. Brilliant!

like two halves that should have been a whole

I'm really glad I got to read , finish the story and that it was happy 😊 cuz otherwise I'd fine you🫠😇 but I feel the 2 books should have been one and that they should have saved the ghost catcher first before meeting the gift 🎁 steeler(pirate) but that's just me being bitter that they couldn't save the dream walkers body even though they have the orchid witch who could just grow her a new body with the DNA of he baby teeth after she regrew hearts 💕 and that spectral could have been brought back by ghost catcher by latching on to the string of the bird and pulling the spectral back again 😉 and that the time guy could have caught her or reversed time or dream walker could have easily caught her as she fell because.....Ghost 👻 but that's just me and like Lazlo I'd pick eagle or hawk for my ship

Satisfyingly creative sequel to Strange the Dreamer

Laini Taylor is an original; and so are her works. Ever since I took a chance on reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone, I’ve been hooked. The depth of her creativity always knocks me over. I don’t like horror, but I deal with any horrific parts to get to the pure gold at the center. These are not stories for children, even though there are many parts with the joy of a child. And the love transcends all.
Enter her world at your own risk and prepare to be dazzled.
West does a good job of narration.
Yes, recommend!

A weaving world of imagination

Continuously moves and grows. A great cast with a lot of stories left for future books.

loooooove!

All I can say is oh my gods I love this story and the world! I didn't think I could love it more than Strange the Dreamer, but what a finish....?!

powerful and expansive

i love the world, and I love the characters. the story feels fresh and full of life. i can only hope for more!
