I was so excited to read Weavers, after falling deeply in love with Daughters, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. the story was complex and relevant, full of political intrigue and the reality of being alive. I do think the story suffered being a duology; Hadeer has created such a rich, deep, complex world and journey that may have been better served as a trilogy (and, selfishly, I want more of Alamaxa!). the reason for this is that there was so much conflict, emotions, and character development in Weavers to squeeze into just one book, that the journey and resolution felt a bit rushed, maybe? to have a third edition could have allowed deeper exploration and development, HOWEVER, I still enjoyed the story and will be recommending it to everyone I meet! very beautiful, heart-wrenching, and so well done.

Thank you to Netgalley & the publisher for an arc <3
This was such a great book to wrap up this duology and I will miss the world of Alamaxa!
While there was some heartbreaking content, I felt the author handled everything gracefully and honored the core of each character in the actions they took in this book! I was so happy with Nehal’s ending especially, as she deserves the world 😭
I can’t wait to see what this author does next!
