For that instant, at least, they seemed one and the same, as though all anguish exists in the same deep well, no matter what loss or misfortune leads us to it. We might be at odds, hate each other, and desire each other's destruction, but in our despair, we are lost in the same darkness, breathing the same air as we choke on our grief.
 

I really enjoyed this book. We get a ton of really great world building, and as usual Laini Taylor’s writing is beautiful. 
My only issue with this book was the character of Nova. I found that I didn’t really spend enough time with her to care as much as I did about Lazlo and Sarai. Also I feel like her scenes were more focused on giving us a backstory than character development, but maybe that’s just me. 
I remember thinking when I first started Strange the Dreamer that it was kind of like The Alchemist if you had more magic and less weird advice, but it’s so much better. 
Either way, I highly recommend this duology. Lazlo will forever have a special place in my heart.
