Muse of Nightmares

“It's the mind. It's the most complex and astonishing thing there is, that there's a world inside each of us that no one else can ever know or see or visit.”

This book makes me glad that I'm a reader. This was my most anticipated read for 2018 considering I had read Strange The Dreamer only a few months ago. I spent my birthday devouring this book and finished it the next day.

This book was everything and more that the first book promised. The conflict had been one of the central themes, and I really wanted to know how the author would chose to resolve it.

SpoilerSo we got two strategies to resolve it,
First - It's easier to find a common ground when you have a common enemy, which is a bigger threat than the other problems.
Second - If you can't beat the odds, change the game. (SOC!)

The tension was palpable since the first page of the book. Also, the way Laini writes and make you care about all the different set of characters is amazing. Till half-way or more, Kora and Nova's story was something like a flashback that I wasn't sure how it would mesh in with ongoing events. But the plot reveals were astonishing and the story was so full of emotions that it made you feel for all of the characters.
