About the book
Strange the Dreamer (Book 1) By Laini Taylor
Release: March 28, 2017
Synopsis
A new epic fantasy by National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling 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 to lose his dream forever.
What happened in Weep two hundred 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 bestselling 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.

Share your own dreams! If you could visit the dream-mind of any author, who would it be and why?
Oh, I can’t chose between two authors that I adore and admire! For one, I’d LOVE to spend some time on J.K. Rowling’s head. Gosh, wouldn’t that be awesome? How does the story goes on with Harry, Ron and Hermine and what other stories does she dream about?
And then…. I’d dying to know what Karen Marie Moning dreams about. How the “9” speak to her in her dreams and I want to know all the little details we don’t know about!

I would love to visit the mind of Dean Koontz, because his books took me to another world I would’ve never imagined. The storyline in his books are out of this world and an escape from reality.

Cynthia Eden because she writes all different genres.
