The Wind Weaver by Julie Johnson
4.0

I feel the pacing of this book needed work. the beginning 250 pages were excellent the last 100 pages also excellent, but there were 200 pages in the middle that were frustratingly repetitive and pointless.

Lots of messy feelings, miscommunications, and long stretches of nothing important happening. It didn't help that I greatly dislike the MMC. I feel that FMC would be much better off with the MMC's rival.

This being said, the book is very well written and avoided most of the annoying habits of Romantasy... ex. there was almost no modern slang (except for curse words), it wasn't overly sexual, there was no insta-love, and it did more showing than telling.

The author handled the narration beautifully. The FMC's POV is very limited by her own feelings and emotions and forces the reader to guess what is really going on. The MMC is heavily flawed (unlike other books I've read where red flag behavior is toted as loveable by the FMC, the FMC in this story is just as pissed off at and hurt by the MMC as the reader is.)

While the story isn't original at all (very predictable so far) I was entertained. I would like to see where this story goes and will likely read the next one.
