„The Wind Weaver” by Julie Johnson
BLURB
Magic and adventure swirl through this spellbinding romantasy where a young woman reignites the embers of an ancient prophecy, unleashing a storm that could save her realm or doom them all.
Fear of maegic plagues war-torn Anwyvn. Halflings like Rhya Fleetwood are killed on sight. But Rhya’s execution is interrupted by an unexpected savior—one far more terrifying than her would-be killers. The mysterious and mercenary Commander Scythe. In the clutches of this new enemy, Rhya finds herself fighting for her life in the barren reaches of the Northlands. Yet the farther she gets from home, the more she learns that nothing is as it seems—not her fearsome captor, not the blight that ravages her dying realm, not even herself.
For Rhya is no ordinary halfling. The strange birthmark on her chest and the wind she instinctively calls forth means she is a Remnant, one of four souls scattered across Anwyvn, fated to restore the balance of maegic…or die trying.
But mastering the power inside her is only the beginning. Desire for the Commander—a man she can never trust, a man with plans of his own—burns just as fiercely as the tempests beating against her rib cage for release. Rhya must choose: smother the flames…or let them consume her.
MY OPINION
„The Wind Weaver” is a first book in dylogy (for now) „Regin of Remnants”. This book was a long time on my TBR and finally I read it. I knew that the second book has a cover, but I wasn't aware that the release date is in the next year!
But nevermind... I will wait for „The Sea Spinner”, because it is worth it!
In „The Wind Weaver” we can meet Rhya, who is a halfling. She has no idea about her previous life and parents. She is learning with her teacher and guardian about herbs and how to use them. One day the war comes to their home and Rhya was taken to execution as a halfling. Fortunately she was saved by mystery, quiet man who took her for the long ride somwhere, where only he knows.
In that journey Rhya started to understand that she isn't a random halfling and her scar on the chest isn't only a scar.
I found here everything I needed, while i was starting read „The Wind Weaver”. Adventure, romance, action (but this is going very slow here). But the climax rewarded me for everything.
Also I found a hero, who took my mind here and I can't wait to read about him more and more. Hope so, that in the second book he will be much more active than here.
„The Wind Weaver” is a read which has a lot of things to like! Elemental fae, slow burn, enemies to lovers romance, very active background heroes and a big case in which all of them need to participate. We have here a lot of secrets, court intrigues and original idea of magic. I can't wait for the sequel. Also after the ending here, right now I know that the second book will be my new obsesion. Why? Ah... if you read „The Wind Weaver” and meet THAT one hero, you will know.
