About this listen
The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around - and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it.
Then a stunning opportunity presents itself in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever. What happened in Weep 200 years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving? The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries - including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo's dreams. How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real?
In this sweeping and breathtaking new novel by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the New York Times best-selling Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy, the shadow of the past is as real as the ghosts who haunt the citadel of murdered gods. Fall into a mythical world of dread and wonder, moths and nightmares, love and carnage.

a well told fable
Refreshingly filled with unexpected twists and a pleasing storyline. Just a little too filled with unrequited love scenes carefully and vividly built for my taste, and it would have been nicer to explore more of the characters in detail

Amazing. True escapism.
This book has it all, its absolutely magical, a bit sci-fi, bit spooky at times! I don’t know how Laini Taylor had this floating around in her head. And omg, so beautifully written! I actually want to go buy the hard copy too so I can see the words in print. It was just amazing!

Mesmerizing
I chose Laini Taylor for my first Audible experience and expected to be entertained. This book surpassed my expectations. The narrator has great energy. A bit funny when the narrator takes on a female timbre to his voice. But the story is so rich & exciting that it has eclipsed all else. Definitely worth my time and credit. Laini Taylor, thank you for this book.

Wonderful storytelling
A skillful piece of story telling with many wonderful word pictures, memorable characters, fully developed world building and a haunting beauty.
The reading performance is excellent. I read the novel a year ago, then listened recently and even though I did remember some of the story, I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the story. In fact, I felt annoyed when people interrupted my listening time!

I couldn't have enjoyed this more
A genuinely beautiful story (a new favourite of mine) and probably the best narrator performance I've heard to date (up there with Tim Gerard Reynolds and the Red Rising series). If you have a heart and a shred of whimsy you won't regret a credit spent here. Unfortunately I couldn't do a review justice, but contained herein is a magical love story with heroes, gods and monsters. Go for it.

Strange the Dreamer
Beautiful, dreadful, magical and haunting.
Strange the Dreamer is a beautiful and intricate journey through a world filled with magic, tragedy and the whispers of a fantasy that you want to be real.
The story has you emotionally invested and the characters have you hanging on there every word, I can't wait to start the next book Muse of Nightmares and see where this story take me.
Loved every piece of this book, it's a must read.

Magic.
It is always magical with Laini Taylor... then add Steve West's soothing narrator voice and suddenly you're transported into another world. Because of this audiobook, I was looking forward to my travel to and from work and didn't mind the traffic at all.. can't wait until Muse of Nightmares!
