The Good:
• Beautiful prose
• Omniscient narrator, looks into all POV
• World building unfolds gradually
The Bad:
• Romance felt a bit shallow
You Might Like This if You Like:
• Disney's Atlantis
• Lost Kingdoms
• Fairytales
Wow! I adored my time in Weep. Laini Taylor's prose here is very soothing—perfectly suited for the dreaminess of this story.
The lost kingdom premise sucked me in immediately. It reminded me very much of Atlantis, which has been a comfort movie for me for awhile.
I really enjoyed both Lazlo and Sarai as protagonists. They're both thoughtful and caring. That said, I felt that the relationship between them was very surface level. I get that this is YA, but it was almost too fairytale for me.

Bye, I’m literally in love with this story. I am not going to be able to function for the next two days. Not to be dramatic, but I would actually die for every character in this book
