I had a 5 star feeling about Weyward from the start. This beautiful cover is a perfect match for the story told inside.

Three stories of three women - spanning centuries & generations - are beautifully woven together to create such a powerful narrative. I loved the parallels in each of the Weyward women’s lives & how each of them displayed immense strength, resilience & independence.

An absolutely stellar debut novel that combines magical realism, historical fiction & mystery. This is one that I know stay with me! I definitely recommend this book for anyone looking for an impactful read, with feminine strength at the core.

I can’t wait to read her newest book, The Sirens, publishing in March 2025!

Great book about the power and resilience of women across generations. The ending tied up a little too nicely given tone of the book, but very enjoyable read.

Overall, I enjoyed the stories. Solidarity between women, close family members, and distant relatives and ancestors is a lovely topic. I liked the way the women took inspiration from one another and passed knowledge along for the next.

The change in point of view and tense was very jarring, and the chapters were so short. It truly felt, sometimes, like nothing had happened in a chapter. I wish the chapters were longer.

At first I thought the book would be better as three separate stories, but I don’t agree with that impression anymore. I think, as the three women’s stories progressed, that they were woven together very well.

Violet’s story was my favorite. Almost a coming-of-age arc, I loved watching Violet grow into herself and lean into who she is. I felt the most emotional towards Violet’s circumstances and the most vindicated by her story’s climax and resolution.

Altha’s was my second favorite by a very close margin. I liked that we ended up reading her story in non-chronological order, it left me very curious about what could possibly happen in part three. I loved the ending was left pretty open compared to the other two.

Kate’s was by far my least favorite. Even though hers had the most immediate action of the three stories and took place over the longest period of time, and even though her character development was on par with Violet’s, it *felt* like nothing happened in her arc. Fundamentally I disagree with her biggest choice, and I absolutely do not relate to her reaction to the consequences of the choice she made, so she was very difficult to empathize with. The climax of her story was incredibly underwhelming- she deserved more time to bask in her power.

All in all it’s a good read about female empowerment and I would recommend it!
