A review by ajhild
Weaveworld by Clive Barker

2.0

Enchanting prose and captivating villains can’t outshine a meandering story full of dull, senseless protagonists and excessive vulgarity and gore. This book is full of the worst sorts of paradoxes: it manages to paint a picture of a world without consistent logic or rules that is also somehow incredibly predictable and boring to behold. The story could also easily be trimmed to half the length if Barker didn’t routinely scatter the main characters for no logical reason.
