To the astonishment of all, they were in search of scientists, technicians, alchemists, or anyone with knowledge their city didn’t have to solve a huge problem they were facing. One unbelievable day, a large group of warriors from Weep come to his city.

When he was 5 years old, the city lost its name and became known as Weep with no person in the entire world able to recall the former name. When he gets the chance to be a librarian surrounded by more stories than he could ever read, he takes it.

He craves knowledge and dreams of a better reality. It contains sharp observations of the human mind and heart in a manner expected of a literary novel, however it’s an adventure containing librarians, scholars, magic, dreamers and strange enemies. He loves stories of all kinds-of warriors, folklore, mythology. Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor is perhaps one of the most beautiful fantasy novels I’ve ever read. Lazlo Strange is an orphan raised by monks since birth. When I heard she was coming out with a new book, I put it on hold immediately! The story of Strange the Dreamer is not directly connected to Taylor’s first series, but definitely has a similar vibe. I love Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy.
