Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Laini Taylor has written some of my favorite Teen books out there. I re-read Daughter of Smoke and Bone just a few months ago and loved it as much as I did the first time. Strange the Dreamer is a wondrous story of unique ideas and colorful visuals that fill your mind with vivid scenes. Her main characters being star-crossed is one of her themes and she delivers the bittersweet joy of such so well(also writes fabulous kissing scenes). Lazlo is officially my new crush having moved on from Akiva (though I will still always love him). She is quite good at interweaving complex subjects such as prejudice, rape, and religion (to name a few) into her stories and all the grey areas they inhabit without being preachy or trite. I really look forward to the next book because this one ends with quite the unfolding story....
