A review by meganbernard
Woven in Darkness by Lucy Holden

4.0

I really struggled on how to rate this book if I'm honest; on one hand I loved and devoured it and on the other the overload of information nearly killed me.

There was so much information thrown into this story, so much so that even now after finishing the book I'm still not convinced that I full understand the world or half the plot. Usually this would be enough for me to DNF or rate really low but for some reason I still ended up entirely invested in our FMC Zaria and her desire to find freedom for herself and her siblings. I also read this book in less than 48 hours and for that I really can't rate less than 4 stars

I found the surface level plot really compelling and I'm pretty confident that despite the information overload I'm still going to continue the series until we learn more of the FMC's background and past.

I didn't care either way for the romance aspect of the book as I felt like there wasn't enough build up for my liking but I would still be interested to read more of the relationship to see how it develops over the later books. *There is no spice in this book*

I would absolutely recommend to readers who enjoy a lot of world building and a complex magic system.
