Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken
4.0
You're all going to laugh at me when I say this, but I thought this book was about mermaids. I took one look at the cover along time ago and thought "wow another mermaid book? I'll have to read it!". Well for those of you (probably none of you) who are as clueless as me, this book is not about mermaids.
I don't like reading books that contain witches, or a lot of magic elements. It's just a personal preference. I was really tempted to put this book down once I found out the whole book is based around magic, wizards, and witches. I decided not to because at that time I was already into the book.
BRIGHTLY WOVEN did not take long to get me interested. From the very first page to the last I was entertained and I loved the entire story. Sure there were some slow points, but very few. The story was unique, adventurous, exciting, and just a fun read that is sure to keep you interested too.
I actually enjoyed reading about Sydelle and from her point of view. Most female protagonists these days can be so annoying, helpless, dumb, ect., but Sydelle kept my attention. Sure at times she could possibly be considered any of those adjectives, but not very often. She was smart, attentive, and a strong character. North was also a great character. He was swoon-worthy, but different from all those other "swoon-worthy male fictional characters". It was a nice change to say the least.
Overall for a book not about mermaids, this was a delightful read. It wasn't the absolute best, but I definitely think you should check it out if you haven't already!
