Story
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.

Story
Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. The faeries' seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them. Or she did, once. At the center of it all, there is a glass coffin in the woods. It rests right on the ground and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointy as knives. Hazel and Ben were both in love with him as children. The boy has slept there for generations, never waking.

In this thrilling conclusion to the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, Karou is still not ready to forgive Akiva for killing the only family she's ever known. When a brutal angel army trespasses into the human world, Karou and Akiva must ally their enemy armies against the threat--and against larger dangers that loom on the horizon. They begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves--maybe even toward love.

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages - not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color.

Publisher's Summary
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.

This book series is such a gift. Taylor's writing process really shines through here. How she manages to capture emotions so perfectly through words is beyond me. Breaking through barriers of hate and tyranny through common humanity is a hard thing to pull off well.

One of the best fantasy audiobooks I have eveheare
Steve West's enchanting narration opens up a world of wonder. I loved this book so much and am ready to immediately jump into book 2. Though some elements of the story are a bit predictable (the author uses liberal amounts of foreshadowing) the world building in this story is exquisite. You'll become just as enamoured with Weep as Lazlo is.

Listening to this book was one of the best decisions I've ever made. This book hooks you from the moment you start it and doesn't let you go, even after you've finished it. Steve Wests narration keeps you invested all the way through. He is such an incredible narrator. As for the story, it is so beautifully written, the amount of quotes I have taken from this text is immense. I now recommend this book to anyone I talk to. #Audible1

Holy F...
Laini Taylor has no mercy for reader or character as both wonder what will happen next. I was reading Brandon Sanderson and his book two wasn't working so I tried Laini's novel and wow. Good luck because it doesn't stop when you stop reading, your mind will pull at your shirt like a hungry child asking when its time for dinner. the story drags you and pushing you purched on the edge of being satisfied but never let's you finish, which is exactly how I like to be torchered by description.

Great until the ending
I really enjoyed this book right up until the last few chapters, which just felt drawn out unnecessarily. There was a point at which I was screaming in my head “just get to the point and tell us what happened!” And the ending felt so...unsatisfied and wrong. I know Laini Taylor is setting it up for a sequel but this didn’t leave me with a feeling of suspense or “oh I can’t wait for the next book”. It made me want to chuck my phone across the room in anger and disgust. Really disappointed.
I gave the book 3* overall because for the most part, it’s a well written, engaging book. But the ending ruined it for me.

Brutal Cliffhanger Ruins A Decent Story
Any additional comments?
I'm conflicted with this review, NO I'm not, it is what it is. I would probably have given this book 4 stars, but the brutal Cliffhanger ending ruined that. While I enjoyed the heck out of this book, there were some minor familiar annoyances throughout and one major, that I still don't understand. I dunno, I'll wear my Dunce cap.
The beginning was a slow burn. Lazlo's character, who's POV is told throughout the story, is a very likable character. He's got a check mark in all the boxes- kind, humble, compassionate and a "do good to all" attitude. His journey from boy to manhood, while interesting, has large portions spent on histories of the worlds and their city's. This is what slowed the beginning portion of the story down. Lazlo grows from book worm to librarian. Lazlo's wild imagination and reputation for story telling earn him the title- Strange the Dreamer. His number one passion since childhood is the city of Weep
After the beginning of the book picks up, I was knee jerked into Serie's POV. Serie is the other MC that tells us her story. Sarai, the offspring of a human and a god, was also a likable character. She is one of only five left in the world after "The Carnage". Serie along with Minya, Ruby, Feral, and Sparrow, have been living is secrecy for many years in a floating Citadel above the city of Weep.
It's back and forth between Lazlo's and Serie's POV. The transition to Serie's POV was so odd, that I thought I missed a few chapters, so I went back to listen again. After the initial introduction, the POV's between Serie and Lazlo are seamless. I found the imaginative way Lazlo and Serie found to communicate pleasantly unfold.
Once the relationships between characters truly develop the story starts to get sluggish again. What was a bit "flowery" turns full purple? The way it was executed was interesting and unique, but I could have done with a less of it.
There was the typical arch nemesis who hated everything Lazlo
The typical conflicted anti hero
The typical villain who rules by "my way or the highway"
The sweet flat characters whose names you can't remember. The opposite of sweet, but even less remarkable.
The events that unfolded were predictable, but as stated the brutal cliffhanger ruined an otherwise good book. I personally think authors that do these types of endings don't respect their readers and want to cackle "I gotcha"
The narration, by Steve West, was awesome!

Good base story, but a little too YA
I bought this not realizing it is probably classified as a Young Adult novel. I enjoyed the story overall and the character building, but skipped through the more "teenage romance" parts. The scenery descriptions are beautiful and you definitely get a good sense of the characters strength and weaknesses. that makes up in part for the more lovey-dovey sections that tend to run on a little long.

What did you love best about Strange the Dreamer?
Wonderful storytelling, beautiful descriptive writing, and characters to wrap your mind around. Have read several of Laini Taylor's books in the past and have a hard time categorizing her as a "teen" fiction writer. I am far from being a teen and would definitely read the next in this series. Great to listen and escape to while gardening, cooking or doing housework, etc. Highly recommend.

I decided to read & listen at the same time for this story. it made it really enjoyable for me and Steve's voice kept me interested. Only negative is that the reading pace can feel a little slow but that might be me since I can read faster than I listen.
