Let me start straight away by saying that I'm only giving this a 2/5 because the premise held so much promise. Here are my grievances - the pacing was way too slow, over 90% of the book absolutely nothing happens, repetitive, high stakes with zero payoffs, world building is clunky... I could go on. The ending was just infuriating. I wanted to like this book so much 🫠😣

*NetGalley ARC* (thank you!)
Let's start with what I liked - the art work. I loved the transition of color depending on who the MMF was talking to. Things that I think would have improved the story - a bit more explanation about Breth. I was very confused - are people in this universe born without souls and then they are supplied by weavers? Is having a soul optional? Are new beings not birthed? I think all of this would have aided me in better understanding and enjoying the story. All in all I think the main themes explored - capitalism, philosophy, family relationships - were interesting.
