A review by asma_aj
Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken

3.0

fter years of draught season at Cliffton village, a mysterious wizard brings rain to the desperate village. In return, he chooses Sydelle to be his assistance. While Sydelle dreamed of leaving her home, the last thing she wanted was to be with a disagreeable and enigmatic companion, Wayland North. But after a few rough events, it's clear that North isn't just a random wandering wizard, but one with information to stop the impending war looming over the kingdom. And Sydelle may be key to stopping this war-- but at a very high cost.

Personal Take: I am so impressed by Brightly Woven. For a standalone fantasy novel, it ticked a lot of the fantasy elements; world building, heroes and heroines, journeying into foreign lands.
