![]() The character development they undergo in this book is phenomenal, and Lazlo has especially endeared himself to me and cemented his status as one of my favourite YA hero of all time. ![]() In Muse, we see Lazlo and Sarai pushed to their limits in every sense. The question of what Minya will do with Sarai’s soul haunts these pages – creating a litany of moral dilemmas and suspenseful crisis. Strange ended with a heart-stopping and utterly cruel cliff-hanger, and much of Muse leaves the reader tethered to that self-same cliff. To me, Muse was pitch-perfect from beginning to end, marked by Laini Taylor’s inimitable lyrical prose and enviable imagination. If the first book in this duology was a languid and indescribably vivid dreamscape, then Muse of Nightmares was a triumphant awakening into a reality equally monstrous and fantastical. Within the first few pages, I was captivated by Lazlo’s dreams, Sarai’s musings, and the magic of Weep. This duology will go down as my all-time favourite, sharing the throne with The Orphan’s Tales Duology and Six of Crows.Īs long-time blog readers might remember, Strange the Dreamer was one of my favourite reads of 2017. ![]() ![]() Laini Taylor is a wordsmith and a weaver of dreams, she never ceases to amaze me. ![]() There will be no spoilers for Muse of Nightmares. The following review will contain spoilers for the first book, Strange the Dreamer (which I have reviewed here).
