Muse of Nightmares, Hardcover/Laini Taylor

Contributor(s): Author: Laini Taylor The highly anticipated, thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestseller, Strange the Dreamer , from National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor, author of the bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy. Sarai has lived and breathed nightmares since she was six years old. She believed she knew every horror, and was beyond surprise. She was wrong. In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep. Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice--save the woman he loves, or everyone else ?--while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of. As humans and godspawn reel in the aftermath of the citadel's near fall, a new foe shatters their fragile hopes, and the mysteries of the Mesarthim are resurrected: Where did the gods come from, and why? What was done with thousands of children born in the citadel nursery? And most important of all, as forgotten doors are opened and new worlds revealed: Must heroes always slay monsters, or is it possible to save them instead? Love and hate, revenge and redemption, destruction and salvation all clash in this gorgeous sequel to the New York Times bestseller, Strange the Dreamer .   Review citations Kirkus Reviews - 07/15/2018 Booklist / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - pg. 78 - 08/01/2018 Booklist / Exceptional Presentation - pg. 78 - 08/01/2018 Booklist / Book Of Special Distinction - pg. 78 - 08/01/2018 Booklist / Top 15 Book Of The Year - pg. 78 - 08/01/2018 Booklist / Highly Recommended - pg. 78 - 08/01/2018 Horn Book Magazine - pg. 97 - 09/01/2018 School Library Journal - pg. 123 - 09/01/2018 Kirkus Reviews Fall Preview - pg. 83 - 08/15/2018 Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Best Of The Best/Highly Recommended - 10/01/2018 Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Exceptional Presentation - 10/01/2018 Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Book Of Special Distinction - 10/01/2018 Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Top 15 Book Of The Year - 10/01/2018 Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks / Highly Recommended - 10/01/2018
