  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

the more i think about this book, the more i love the creativity in it. sometimes novellas have issues but the creativity can mostly outshine them, and this is a good example of that imo. 
the best part of The Four Profound Weaves is easily the two main characters. it’s pretty uncommon to find a book with even one elderly trans character, much less two, so that was wonderful.
this is described as a standalone, but it’s very much not. felt like i had jumped into a story partway through. i’d heavily recommend you read some of R.B. Lemberg’s other Birdverse work before picking this up
