Strange the Dreamer

Exactly the otherworldly fantasy escape I needed right now. I forgot how enjoyable Taylor's writing is, and though it was sometimes overwrought and in need of editing in her first series, it feels lush and precise here, and at 525 pages I didn't feel bored once. The audiobook, performed by Steve West, is ear-dessert, just so well done. I toggled between the book/audio and always heard what I was reading in his voice. Will definitely be adding Part 2 to the top of my to-read pile.
