The Shadow Weave by Annette Marie
5.0
5 well deserved stars!
Annette Marie giving me heartattacks since 2018 continues with this book.
Is it possible to fall even more in love with characters?! I mean, I already deeply love Lyre since the Steel&Stone series (which takes place five years after the Spell Weaver trilogy. However .... Clio ... that girl has received a very special place in my heart. Although being a nymph and therefore being physicially weak, she keeps fighting and fighting and FIGHTING and she is so brave and determined but also caring and cute!!! I missed her being a walking disaster, but her character growth is amazing!
I loved and laughed out loud at Clio and Piper's interactions. Thirteen year old Piper was already such a mood! You don't have any idea how much I am longing to get the new series Blackfire ❤
Furthermore, the "bonding" of Ash and Lyre is definitely way different than I had imagined while reading S&S!
As for the writing - is as alaways - amazing. The story is fast paced with many many super cool magical fights and quiet romantic scenes. I'm so addicted to her books (despite of frequent heartattacks) I guess Annette Marie has become one of my favourite authors!
So, if you're looking for a fast paced magical urban fantasy - go for it!!
