I had no idea what this book was about going in. I was pleasantly surprised. My only regret is that I read it so far and the story was over so quickly. I can look forward to Muse of Nightmares.
This cover is gorgeous and it pleases me that the sequel matches up with this cover.
“I turned my nightmares into fireflies and caught them in a jar.”
Laini Taylor's writing is so beautifully written and lyrical. Every paragraph there was a sentence that I would want to remember. The scenes Taylor depicts with her words is almost unbelievable.
I don't know if I've loved a couple as much as I do Lazlo and Sarai. I thought them being in dreams and just being able to make whatever they wanted happen was sweet. I loved their relationship they had without even being together. I thought Lazlo letting Sarai stay in his dreams so she wouldn't have nightmares was adorable. I think the idea of Sarai being able to give people nightmares is such a cool idea, it reminded me of The BFG by Ronald Dahl.
“Without his books, his room felt like a body with its hearts cut out.”
I adore it when characters are bookworms too and I can relate to them on a personal level. I felt like the parts of Lazlo needing his book or him always reading were so true for anyone who loves reading.
I enjoyed the backstory with Sarai's father, and him having his reasons for his actions. I also liked having Minya be the oldest, but she doesn't age older then 6, I felt like that was an interesting touch.
The multiple POVs worked and were much need and well thought out. As I've said before, writing from more then one perspective is very tricky and sometimes does not work in books, but it worked beautifully in this book. The twists and turns of this story were interesting and there was always something happening to at least one character.
