Woven in Darkness by Lucy Holden
5.0
This book was so phenomenally written that I didn't even care that it was a whopping 71 chapters!
I really enjoyed the strength and determination of Zaria as she tackles all the obstacles in her way to improve not just her life, but her siblings' lives as well. Even as a slave in a not so great place to live, she still held hope, even in the face of death-- especially in the Braid Race.
Harken is a morally gray anti-hero known as the Savage King and there's a lot of "who did this to you" and "don't touch my girl" involved-- and he calls Zaria "little criminal" and just ahhhhhh, I love it.
Also, the world building is just *chef's kiss* perfection, so intricately woven and well thought out that it was like I was there. The history and the magic system and the characters were amazing and I really enjoyed all the details. It did take me a few chapters to full immerse myself since it is so info heavy.
I would definitely suggest this to anyone searching for a new high fantasy read with magic, high-stakes, romance, forced proximity. Thank you sincerely to NetGalley and Lucy Holden for sending me a eARC copy of this wonderful book. It was great!
