![]() ![]() ![]() “There were no books to hide behind, and no shadows- only Lazlo Strange in his work gray robes, with his nose that had been broken by fairy tales, looking like the hero of no story ever told. ![]() Peppered with unusual new words and an exciting narrative I was easily drawn into Lazlo’s story. Her quotes are magical, her descriptions vivid and her books are stuffed with exceptional uses of the English language that I fall completely into their realms. I love Laini Taylor’s writing, regardless of which of her novels I read. The first aspect of this novel that I have to talk about is the writing style. From scraps of receipts, forgotten tomes and fairy tales Lazlo pieces together their language and history but one question still haunts him: what happened to it? His lifelong ambition is to refind the city, but he soon discovers how cruel the world can be when his dream comes to him. Lazlo Strange is the unofficial expert on a dessert city that shut itself of from the world nearly two hundred years ago and suddenly disappeared from memory fifteen years ago. ![]()
