![]() ![]() Overall, this novel was still fun and focused more on the past which made way for this long-lasting conflict plaguing everyone’s heart and mind now.Ĭlick here to check out Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor. I appreciated how Lazlo stayed true to his morals, although his newfound powers seemed to instill a confidence within him that was fun to see. The love between Lazol and Sarai was still enjoyable and sweet to read, while other loves, as well, found new footholds. The focus of the story removes itself from Lazlo which upset me, but this change did well to explore more of the characters and entice me into this expanding world. Taylor inserted a new character and perspective which confused me at first, but then found itself falling right in place along with the rest of the story.
