Solid 3 stars- predictable but enjoyable, although at times it did feel like “Rhya figures it out herself while ignored and left to her own devices” which lost some points. I wish there were some training scenes or more mentorship. After a while the banter that was more flirty turned into willful misinterpretation. The fight scenes were interesting and I loved the world descriptions. If this turns into a love triangle, I know who I’m rooting for!

I am not in love with this series, just a little curious. So much happened in this first book. There was a lot of information and characters introduced. More deaths of main characters than I like to see in the first book. I am not quite sure where this book is going. I hope it will not turn into a love triangle or a why choose situation. I’m not a fan of those tropes.
It’s seems that war might be the main premise of this series.
Also, they will probably seek out the earth remnant.
I’m still on the fence on whether I will continue with this series. Time will tell

The beginning and end was good but most of the middle boring. I didn’t care for the characters and the plot was pretty basic. Also, the romance lacked chemistry. BUT the writing was pretty good. I could also see the next book being better by how this one ended. All in all it was a fine book but nothing really stood out.
Also super picky comment but the like 100 yr old queen acts like a 17 yr old girl bully. Like in what world does a grown old woman act like this. It really annoyed me.

Rhya Fleetwood is set to hang, just for being a fae halfling, but instead ends up "rescued" and slung over the horse of the mortal army's fiercest commander. To what end, she does not know, but her fate is somehow irrevocably entwined with his in ancient prophecy.
The Wind Weaver is one of those epic romantasy tales that you don't realize you're craving, but then spend 12 hours reading non-stop. Everything about it is designed to pull you in. The world-building is lush, the monstrous creatures make your heart pound, the slow-burn is YEARNING set to 11, the spitfire banter sets both your heart and mind on fire, and the mystery is constantly unraveling. I could not get enough.
It's definitely one that will have you taking notes and stringing up theories.
Additionally, the found family vibe is EPIC. Every interaction is completely entertaining and/or heart-warming, and Rhya is as sharp as they come; holding her own in the company of brutes with admirable umph.
For me, though, what I loved most, was the way elemental magic was explored as true force-of-nature magic. Dangerous. Not at all easy to control. Requiring years of mastery and experience. Also, I loved that this really wasn't a whimsical story. It has very dark moments, depth, and the love/trust is earned over time; this is not a love/lust at first sight romance.
I finished this book at 2:30am, absolutely reeling and wanting the next book.
Which is to say... run, don't walk! This one's a gem.
Thank you to Ace Books, Berkley Publishing, and NetGalley for the gifted read.
