Today we are delighted to be partnering with Little, Brown to share a giveaway of Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor!
About the Book:
A new epic fantasy by National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author Laini Taylor of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy.
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 to lose his dream forever.
What happened in Weep two hundred 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 bestselling Daughter of Smoke & 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.
Welcome to Weep.
The first book in a new series from Laini Taylor, Strange the Dreamer is available from Little, Brown & Co. Get it in stores March 28th, 2017. Read the prologue on EW.com. Or check out the first chapter on thenovl.com.

May 2, 2017 at 1:10 pmThere are so many incredible fantasy worlds, it’s hard to choose! I’ve always been in love with Middle Earth – I think I’d enjoy living in Hobbiton. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! I absolutely adore Taylor’s writing.

May 2, 2017 at 1:11 pmOoooooh must have book must have.
I do not know how to even begin to choose a favorite fantasy world. If I have to pick, I might go with His Dark Materials, because I want to be a balloonist who is friends with an armored bear.
Carl
May 2, 2017 at 1:58 pmI think my favorite would be Middle Earth, I’m kinda old school that way. Thanks for the chance to win.
John Smith
May 2, 2017 at 2:40 pmMy favorite fantasy world? Ooh, that’s so hard. I guess it’s whatever I’m watching or reading at the time. I’ve loved Buffy, and Angel, and C.S. Lewis fantasy and science fiction books, etc., etc.
Kathy
May 2, 2017 at 2:46 pmThat’s a hard one to decide. I would go for Sanderson’s Roshar. Crazy weather patterns aside, the world is so fascinating.
Diana
May 2, 2017 at 6:05 pmHard to say, because so many are great, but I loved the world in Martha Wells’ Books of the Raksura.
Kate
May 2, 2017 at 7:13 pmMy favorite fantasy world is definitely the Avatar: The Last Airbender world.

May 2, 2017 at 8:11 pmI love the world of Harry Potter and Middle Earth, but my favorite fantasy world from a book is The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede. My favorite TV fantasy world may be The Emerald City world from NBC, but it’s very early in development.

May 2, 2017 at 9:42 pmMy immediate answer is Discworld, but Middle Earth will also always have a special place for me ever since my dad read my twin and I the Hobbit as a child.

May 2, 2017 at 9:59 pmI would pick Middle Earth.
if the book will be too difficult
May 3, 2017 at 7:33 amMy favorite fantasy world might be Garth Nix’s Old Kingdom, but it’s hard to choose!
Joni Patterson
May 3, 2017 at 8:05 amWell, the Wizarding World is a bit too obvious an answer… so I guess I’ll go instead with something a little random. One of my favorite movies (and worlds) is “Penelope”, which is maybe more magical realism, but I love the quirky aesthetic and the ordinary-yet-fantastical feel of the whole thing. <3
Thanks for an awesome giveaway! -and for a great blog for read! You guys are one of my go-to sources for discovering something awesome. ^^

Wren
May 3, 2017 at 10:53 amThe Harry Potter universe, ofc. But if I had to pick something other than that, then it’s definitely Discworld. (Terry, my man.)

May 3, 2017 at 6:03 pmMy favorite fantasy world would be Hogwarts.

May 7, 2017 at 3:45 pmI know it’s an obvious choice, but I have to go with Harry Potter. That series changed my life, and I will never get tired of re-reading the books!
