Strange is the name given to all orphans. But Lazlo is a little different than the other orphans. He is a dreamer. Sarai is also an orphan or at least her mother is dead and her father doesn't know that she is still alive. Now Lazlo and Sarai's paths are going to cross in the most heart wrenching way.
I really enjoyed the characters and their motivations. They were extremely diverse and well written. Though there were obviously characters who were wrong, I could understand all, or most, of the characters. The setting and the magic is super interesting as well.
The only thing that I really didn't totally enjoy was how quickly the romance occurred. It just felt a little rushed to me. There were definitely also loose threads at the end of the novel but the sort of makes sense since this is only the first book.
If you love fantasy and a sickly sweet romance, give this one a read.
