‘Weaving Magic’ drew me in from the very first page- finally a YA book including magic without the usual paranormal and other fantasy themes tacked on. The main boy, Christopher, is the kind of magician you’d find a talent show- just a normal boy, no special powers and no absurd levels of perfection about him. In fact, Christopher has his fair amount of issues with trying to stay sober, dealing with family issues and trying to protect his friends. The main girl, Shantel, is far from perfect herself. She is still dealing with her mother’s death as well as trying to keep her father happy by taking advanced classes, though she spends most of her time reading romance novels. Both characters are incredibly relatable in one way or another to the readers- their flaws and the troubles they go through within the novel allow you to connect with them.
The two main characters aren’t the only good thing in the novel, the supporting characters (two of my personal favourites being Alex and Mia) are also amazing and the plot and themes created an even more enjoyable read. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quick but interesting book with hints of magic and romance.
