we need meer Soren en minder Penn!!

een beginnende romantasy met een voor mij nieuwer magiestelsel, wat ik erg leuk vond. het heeft de prophecy/uitverkorene trope, maar waar dat nou eigenlijk voor is en vooral wat de hoofdpersoon nou eigenlijk kan met haar magie is mij niet duidelijk.

er gebeurt heel veel in het boek en tegelijk heb ik het gevoel alsof er ook niks is gebeurd. ik verveelde me zelfs in het middendeel van het boek af en toe een beetje. enkel de laatste hoofdstukken bevatten echt wat actie. hier gebeurt er veel met allerlei characters, maar maakte op mij niet zoveel indruk omdat mij nog niet echt verbonden voel met de characters.

ik ben zeker benieuwd hoe de rest van deze serie gaat zijn 🌬️💦🔥🌳

As soon as I started The Wind Weaver I was hooked. The world Julie has created really captivated me and I was truly immersed in the story. The world building was done really well and wasn’t confusing to understand. Rhya and Penn are great main characters and I love the banter and humour in the book as well. There are so many great quotes throughout the book. The romance was spot on for me. It was a slow burn and not all the book was focused on right from the beginning like a lot of romantasy books.
Such a great first book and I will definitely be continuing the series there is no question about it. The writing was perfect and I wish I could read book two now as I can’t stop thinking of the characters and I want to know what they are up to.

This book is little to no plot, all vibes. Unless you count learning about the world as a plot. But it didn't even matter because I thoroughly enjoyed it. It very much felt like a "first book" where everything is being set up for later books in the series. I do think some things could've been cut down, or cut completely for the sake of shortening the book, 500+ pages was a bit much for this type of story. 

I like Rhya as the main character. All the side characters are great. I cannot make up my mind about Penn, there are aspects of him I adore, and some that make me want to throat punch him. I'm also excited to learn more about Soren in the next book.
