Strange the Dreamer is a tale filled with gods, monsters and heroes. Sometimes it is difficult to know which is which. Lazlo Strange was a baby orphaned by war and raised by monks, as are many other such children. All are given the last name of Strange, since their parentage is unknown. Lazlo is a dreamer. Both as a young child and as a young man, he is enthralled by fairy tales. His special obsession is any story pertaining to the lost city of Weep. As a librarian, he has access to books telling of this wondrous place. He learns it's language and it's lore but has no hope of ever seeing the place. But that all changes on the day the Godslayer appears with his band of warriors. He seeks men of knowledge in the hope that they can break the curse that is terrorizing Weep. Lazlo's only skill is his collection of stories and ability to speak to the strangers. That is enough to make his dream come true. But when he arrives at Weep, he gains a more wondrous dream. Apparently this tale was too epic to be contained in a single volume. I will be there to buy the next book on it's day of publication. Because Strange the Dreamer is one of the best books that I have ever read.
