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.
