Muse of Nightmares
This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews After finishing Strange the Dreamer I needed to see how this story was going to pan out. I loved Lazlo Strange in the first book. He is such an enchanting character. His imagination is endless and you can't help but want to be a part of that.
I wanted to LOVE this book but it just didn't have the same punch as the first book. I enjoyed the story don't get me wrong but it felt like there was something missing. I know I am in the minority here. This book had a different vibe to the first and it just wasn't quite what I was expecting. There were a few revelations that just seemed to fall a bit flat to me.
I really enjoyed hearing more about the backstory of the 'God's' of Weep. I enjoyed seeing where they came from and what life was like before they came to Weep.
I loved the characters in this story and the bonds they have. It was also nice to see more of Calixte and Thyron. Seeing these characters develop was very interesting.
Laini is very good at creating worlds and making them seem very very real. The story alludes to maybe a spin-off or a novella which I really hope does happen as I always love expanding stories and extra world building.
