Strange the Dreamer

Such a magical, beautiful book. Everyone has been telling me for quite some time that I NEED to read this book and I finally did it. And I am so happy that I did and I wish I had read it sooner... but better late than never, right?

The story is magical (I can't find another word to describe it, maybe whimsical?) and it captivated me from the first pages. Blue god, a dreamer boy, love, hope, happiness and sadness, that's what this book is about. I absolutely adored the way the author “explained” the title. The book focuses on the journey of Lazlo Strange, who is a dreamer. Therefore, Strange the Dreamer is the perfect title for the book.

I knew from the very first pages that I was going to love Lazlo. He is not your typical hero, he isn't the most gorgeous man alive. He's a simple librarian, but he has a huge power: the power of dreaming. He can dream the most unusual things, he is a very open-minded person and he is not afraid of the unknown. That's why, when he meets the beautiful blue goddess Sarai, he meets her with his arms wide open and he isn't afraid of her, like the other people were.

Their story turns into something gorgeous and I loved reading about their relationship and how it evolved throughout the book. There were some pretty awesome plot twists, especially at the end. The ending left me sobbing and wanting to start reading “Muse of Nightmares” sooner. As in, after I post this review I am going to start reading the next book because I NEED to see what happens.
