The Sky Weaver by Kristen Ciccarelli
4.0
Thanks to Netgalley and Orion for the review copy.
When I requested this book I didn't realise it was part of a series, but as it said 'standalone in the world of Iskari' I thought it would be fine to read anyway. And I have to say, it was a really good book. I'm not sure how standalone it is, as although it gives you background on some of the characters from the other books, it does it quite quickly and slightly too in-depth, whereas I think it would have benefited from a slightly more subtle approach. I felt like I was being told quite a lot of things.
Aside from that, I loved Eris and Safire's relationship (F/F romance, woo!) and I loved the slow reveal throughout the book. When everything slotted together it was extremely satisfying yet still had an element of surprise. The mechanics were also really unique and well-done.
It does make me want to read the first two books, although now I know everything that happened so maybe not. If anything, I'd want more of Eris, she's such an interesting character.
4 stars.
