Listen. Did I say I was super excited to read this book? Yes, and I was. Was I still afraid it wouldn't be as good, even though it had, like, 4.5 stars on Goodreads? Yes. So I did what I do best and procrastinated. I finished New Girl, which is pretty good if you're into comedy stuff. In reality, I finished this book in three days, despite the timing of this post.
Muse of Nightmares is the second magical book in the duology. Assuming you read Strange the Dreamer, you know Lazlo, my husband, is now a god, and Sarai is a ghost. Minya is dead set on revenge, using Sarai as a hostage, the humans down below the citadel are trying to figure out how to go on functioning in light of recent events, and something else ominous I can't tell you about because that's one h*ck of a spoiler. It's all going down and I was not ready, even though I should have been.
Okay. There's so much. So many feelings, you don't understand. I read 300 pages yesterday. It's been a very long time since I read books that made my heart squeeze and beat fast and make me want to cradle the book in my lap instead of putting it back in my bag during class. A very long time. God, I've been reading crappy books lately. I shouldn't put up with this. But I will. I'm such a pushover, someone save me.

Anyway, this book is so good. All the good things in the last book? Still relevant. People got better. Character arcs were created. Character development occurred. Thyon? I have so many questions. So many questions that I'd like answered by one Laini Taylor. I'd also like a world question answered by the madam, but alas, I don't have access. All in all, I think I'm going to buy these books. I'm going to reread Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and hopefully, I'll read better books. Here's some art of Sarai, because I couldn't find a picture I liked of Lazlo. Have a nice day. Go read some good books.
I forgive you: all the snakes (anyone can be anyone else's monster)
Ship: Lazlo and Sarai, Thyon and Ruza, Eril-Fane and Azareen,
