The Four Profound Weaves by R.B. Lemberg
2.0
This book was disappointing. It has a neat idea and a unique world with a magic system I'd love to understand, but there were just so many issues with this book.
The two characters the book follows are almost completely interchangeable. You could not tell who was speaking without being told because they have exactly the same voice.
The magic system, and most things in the world, are left unexplained and it's confusing. There is little to no indication of what might be possible for a character to do.
It reads like a draft of the book, with typos, and oddly inconsistent formatting. The font size randomly changes. There are dashes thrown in mid word for seemingly no reason.
It's was a very disappointing experience because it's a queer story by a queer author, and that's really what I want to read. Sadly, I could not recommend this book to anyone.
