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.

really enjoyed this one! i liked the characters and their interactions and relationships. i do wish the romance had a little more build up and reason rather than just the remanent bond. excited for book two!
