Strange the Dreamer

De: Laini Taylor

Narrado por: Steve West

A new epic fantasy by National Book Award finalist and New York Times best-selling author Laini Taylor of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy.

The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around - and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old, he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.

What happened in Weep 200 years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving?

The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries - including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams. How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real?

In this sweeping and breathtaking new novel by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the New York Times best-selling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, the shadow of the past is as real as the ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. Fall into a mythical world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage.

Welcome to Weep.

Magical

This is a story that sticks with you long after you finish it. It deals with some pretty big issues without being preachy. It makes you think about being different, how past events shape a person's choices, slavery, and integrity.

One of my favorite books ever

This book is beautiful and full of monsters, like all the best stories. It is magic and starlight and wingsmiths and kisses and tears. The narration is wonderfully done! I cannot wait to delve into Muse of Nightmares ❤️

Exquisite

I loved Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy, so I picked this one up as soon as it came out in hardback—and then decided it was worth revisiting in audio, and I’m so glad I did. The narrator brought the world to life and left me hanging on every word. I can’t wait for the second book to come out!

Amazing

This book is SO original I have never heard any other story like this story I love this book

Truly Enjoyed the Story

I really enjoyed this book, story was very well told and narrated. Looking forward to the sequal

This book felt like a dream I could live in

Laini Taylor blew me away with her exquisite writing and intensely intricate plotting. I had a lot of trouble forcing myself to take a breath and slow down to enjoy the book the way it deserves to be.

I loved how Lazlo's character was developed, frankly, how every character was, so thoughtful and deliberate. The mythology was spellbinding and felt so real, I was disappointed to finish the book, even more so when I realized I have to wait for the sequel.

This book was not only an excellent read, but one of those stories that stays with you for a very long time.

Sublime!

Laini Taylor has done it again. Epic, whimsical, terrible, and breathtaking. I am left at once treagically bereft and so wholly, sublimely satisfied.

Delightful

I got this because someone said it was similar to Brandon Sanderson...it is, completely different world and magic but beautiful prose and a beautiful world.

it will rip your heart out

Incredible writing, beautiful characters, amazing world building, but be ready for an emotional roller coaster

Big Laini Taylor Fan

I am a huge Laini Taylor fan - I've read/listened to the DOSAB series a number of times.
Her creation of fantasy worlds is so fascinating, intricate and internally consistent that you can't help falling right into them. She's really so very talented!

I didn't love this book like I did the previous series although I will reserve final judgment until I read/hear book 2. I have supreme confidence that the missing pieces in this book will neatly fall into place and I will love both volumes.

The voice acting for this performance is excellent. Adds wonderfully to the dreamy, fantasy feel.
