A review by joymargot
Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor

3.0

I read Strange the Dreamer and Muse of Nightmares back to back. Unfortunately, Taylor assumes her readers have completely forgotten everything that happened in the first book and it feels almost choked with recaps and over explanation. It might not have been as obvious if I had been a bit less familiar with Strange but I found it rather off-putting.

While it was wonderful to be reunited with the characters of the first novel and find out what happened to them, I didn’t find the sequel as gripping or enjoyable and I wasn’t hugely invested in the newly introduced characters.

I’m glad I read it but I’m not sure I would re-read it.
