A review by yatllive
Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken

4.0

I was trying so hard to wait, and be patient, and read this book closer to release date but alas, as you can see, I couldn't hold off anymore. I am so glad I read it, because it got me out of a reading slump and I devoured this book page by page.

Alexendra Bracken's debut, BRIGHTLY WOVEN, is a high fantasy adventure filled with mystery, love, romance, and danger. It has the perfect blend of mysterious boy meets fascinating, small town girl and these unseemingly opposite characters are on the run from a mean and powerful wizard that seeks to cause some serious damage.Not only to our hero and heroine but well, to a lot more people! But not all is as at it seems --Syd and North learn new things about themselves and eachother but the magic happens as they discover these dangerous and heartbreaking secrets that make this book so wonderful and unexpected.

Bracken's well-paced storytelling mixes well with a fascinating world and vibrant and intriguing characters that transform this tale into a book that you cannot possibly put down! Like Norht's capes, Bracken unfurls the corners to reveal unexpected twists and turns and each chapter is a vibrant thread that make up this enthralling BRIGHTLY WOVEN!

Fans of Cashore will devour this book! And it's a must read this spring when the book debuts in March! Seriously worth pre-ordering!
