This book is one of the best young adult novels I have ever read. No boring cliches, a close to unpredictable plot, and characters that feel very human. The love story is one of the books strong points. Sarai and Lazlo do not fall in love with each other because of arbitrary reasons like good looks or a mysterious personality. They love each other for who they are. Additionally, Their love story starts very early compared with other YA couples. Not only the two main characters are interesting and relatable. The supporting characters are fleshed out to point where almost all of them are relevant to the story. They are not simply there to nudge the protagonists into the right direction to advance the story, but are interested in solving the mystery of Weep out of their own volition. Furthermore, there is neither too little nor to much backstory. We are told enough about Weep and its past to feel for its inhabitants without overexplaining it. The same goes for almost every character. The reader is only told what they need to know, leaving the rest to imagination. These points make for an amazing story that feels almost too real. Laini Taylor is an amazing author. Through her great storytelling and mesmerizing writing style she is able to draw the reader into her fantastical world full of love, grief and the hope of peace.

***Sunday Times bestseller***
'Laini Taylor set my imagination on fire so hard that it spontaneously combusted . . . This is the kind of story that paves dreams' - Roshani Chokshi, author of The Star Touched Queen
'5*s: This whimsical and diverse tale reads like a dream' - Heat
*********
The dream chooses the dreamer.
Since he was five years old, Lazlo Strange has been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to go 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 to cut it off from the world? What 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 many more mysteries - including the blue-skinned goddess who visits Lazlo's dreams . . .
[A] stunning, sensory feast of a novel . . . the story's plotting, emotional charge and sheer sensuality sweep the reader along with ever rising intensity. Daily Mail
