The only villain in this series died fifteen years before the story began, leaving only his victims, cobbling together a life for themselves while carrying the anguish of what they have lost. Taylor shows no mercy to her readers in this powerful sequel. “We’re caught up in something older than ourselves and bigger than our world” But as Skathsis’s victims turn on each other in their grief and anger it becomes almost impossible to build bridges in a world bent on tearing them down. Despite his friends on Weep’s hatred of the godspawn he still clings to one, impossible shred of hope: that they might find a world that welcomes them after all. Loving a ghost at Minya’s command he is forced to make a devastating choice: loose Sarai or destroy Weep, and the only friends and family he’s ever known. Starting where it’s predecessor left off, Lazlo is desperate. Muse of Nightmares is the heart wrenching sequel to the popular fantasy novel, Strange the Dreamer. This is a 100% genuine review, and not influenced by this! I was gifted a copy of the book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review as part of the paperback release blog tour. There are spoilers for its predecessor in this review, you can find my opinions on Strange the Dreamer here. Muse of Nightmares, released last November, is the sequel to Strange the Dreamer.
