Absolutely worth reading, though it started to drag in the last 100 pages or so. Really enjoy the take on elemental magic and def wanna see what

gets up to in the next book

Also very happy to have a fantasy mostly focused on romance that isn't full of cuss words or a lot of smut!

The Wind Weaver was a 4.75⭐ read for me. I went into the book a little blind; I hadn’t done much more research than skimming the summary a few months earlier and seeing that it had some tropes I am a fan of. That was honestly a super fun way to experience the book because I felt like I was just as much in the dark as Rhya (our FMC), so I would definitely recommend it. 

Let me give you a few tropes you’ll find, and if you are a fan then you should read the book instead of obsessively researching (one of my fatal flaws). In this book you’ll find elemental magic, enemies to lovers (probably?), prophesies, a snarky FMC, a super emotionally stunted MMC with a soft spot for her, and a very slow burn.

If you still want to research instead of going to read the book, here are some of my thoughts after finishing. I am a huge fan of Avatar the Last Airbender, and this book made that part of my heart so happy. Who knew what I was missing was a romantasy book with Avatar vibes? I loved the elemental magic, and loved the world building.

The reason this book wasn’t a 5⭐ is because I was frustrated with Penn (the MMC) and how emotionally stilted he was. I’m unapologetically a vibes rater, and it just felt like there was just a titch too much miscommunication (in the form of running away instead of talking) in the book to give it a full 5⭐. Honestly, this proved how good of an author Julie Johnson is because I totally felt how Rhya was feeling about all the situations she was put it. Which was frustrated that Penn wouldn’t just have an open conversation! So 10/10 job on depicting that emotion. But still, it left me rooting for Rhya to have the space to figure herself out and potentially find a more emotionally available love interest, because after everything she had been through, she deserved it. I’m loving how the book ended, and secretly rooting for our second male lead to end up with her. I’ll be honest, I was kinda rooting for him from the first time we met him. I’m super excited to see where the next book takes us, and hoping that we will meet the earth remnant next book!

Älskar verkligen omslaget pĂ„ den hĂ€r boken, det var det som fick mig att vilja lĂ€sa boken. NĂ€r det kommer till innehĂ„llet blev jag tyvĂ€rr lite besviken. Personligen tyckte jag det blev för mĂ„nga metaforer och liknelser. Det Ă€r nĂ„got som jag dra mig ur en berĂ€ttelse nĂ€r jag börjar störa mig pĂ„ det.

Sen nĂ€r det kommer till romansen sĂ„ Ă€r inte alltid enemies to lovers min grej. Sitter mest och stör mig pĂ„ hur Scythe behandlade Rhya i början, t.ex att konstant slĂ€nga hennes över hĂ€sten rumpa och jĂ€mföra henne med en sĂ€ck. Blev ocksĂ„ obekvĂ€m nĂ€r han kallar henne ”flicka” och ”barn” för fick kĂ€nslan att han var en vuxen man och hon ett barn, och dĂ„ blir det svĂ„rt att se en romantisk relation mellan dem. Rhya ska vara 20, men hon kĂ€ndes som 16. Tyckte ocksĂ„ det gick vĂ€ldigt fort till att Rhya började fĂ„ kĂ€nslor för honom med tanke pĂ„ att han kidnappar henne. DĂ€remot tyckte jag den var spĂ€nnande och lĂ€ttlĂ€st. Den var svĂ„r att lĂ€gga ifrĂ„n sig dĂ„ jag ville veta vad som skulle hĂ€nda. Önskar dock att man i fortsĂ€ttningen fĂ„r se mer starka kvinnor, i denna var det bara mĂ€nnen som var krigare och starka. För kommer definitivt lĂ€sa fortsĂ€ttningen 

Tack till Bokfabriken för recensionsexemplar

The dialogue in this is so clunky. Every point is made to depth, absolutely nothing is left to interpretation. There romance is completely devoid of chemistry and the plot is completely stagnant. The story only gains a semblance of life in the second to last chapter and it was difficult to care at that point
