I thoroughly enjoyed the weaver and the witch queen! This is a historical fantasy adventure that sweeps you up into a nordic world of ritual and battle and politics, but that is all simply an enchanting setting for the characters to act within as they work through the complicated dynamics of evolving friendships, trauma, love, betrayal, and the messy process of discovering who you want to be. The story is told through Gunnhild and Oddny's perspective, but you are introduced to so many interesting and mysterious people throughout the novel - i was constantly wondering how their relationships would change as more and more information was revealed. The pace was great, the character development was realistic and deep and varied. And the plot was rich and satisfying to the end. I feel as though a sequel is coming... not sure if thats coming or not but i would be glad for it!
