Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
5.0
I think my mind still refuses to come out of the blissful coma that this book had induced.
Can I give 10 stars?
[a:Laini Taylor|324620|Laini Taylor|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1224474224p2/324620.jpg] is one of my favourite authors, and DoSaB, is well, what I read when I need fairy tales in my life. She writes poetry in her stories, songs of unbelievable places, creatures, and breathes in love in those with her words.
You are in for a treat, the moment you pick this book up - the elaborate verse, the narration, the wondrous use of simple words to pen a fable of magic and love - I don't think I can do justice in describing what it felt like reading this book.
You know how magnificent Taylor is when you find her fantastical story more believable than the average contemporary books. The characters, the finer details of the plot, the backstories, pretty much everything will absorb you in, right from the start. They are throbbing, real and magical, all at the same time.
And for the dreamers and utter romantics, we all need a Lazlo in our lives. The only downside would be now I'll have to wait for the sequel for more of Lazlo and Sarai.
This book is perfection, in all its senses. And that's all there is to say about it.
