The Wind Weaver

Reign of Remnants, Book 1

De: Julie Johnson

Narrado por: Billie Fulford-Brown

Magic and adventure swirl through this spellbinding romantasy where a young woman reignites the embers of an ancient prophecy, unleashing a storm that could save her realm or doom them all.

Fear of maegic plagues war-torn Anwyvn. Halflings like Rhya Fleetwood are killed on sight. But Rhya’s execution is interrupted by an unexpected savior—one far more terrifying than her would-be killers. The mysterious and mercenary Commander Scythe. In the clutches of this new enemy, Rhya finds herself fighting for her life in the barren reaches of the Northlands. Yet the farther she gets from home, the more she learns that nothing is as it seems—not her fearsome captor, not the blight that ravages her dying realm, not even herself.

For Rhya is no ordinary halfling. The strange birthmark on her chest and the wind she instinctively calls forth means she is a Remnant, one of four souls scattered across Anwyvn, fated to restore the balance of maegic…or die trying.

But mastering the power inside her is only the beginning. Desire for the Commander—a man she can never trust, a man with plans of his own—burns just as fiercely as the tempests beating against her rib cage for release. Rhya must choose: smother the flames…or let them consume her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Wind Weaver is a masterful fusion of epic fantasy and heart-pounding romance, equally relentless in its examination of dark themes as it is in bringing hope and magic to life. Julie Johnson's rich worldbuilding leaves no stone unturned, and her gripping prose takes no prisoners."—Thea Guanzon, USA Today and New York Times bestselling author of The Hurricane Wars

“Julie Johnson creates a unique and addictive world in The Wind Weaver, unlike any other. Whether you're new to Romantasy or Fantasy, or seasoned, you'll find yourself immersed in the complex, beautifully crafted, chaotic and mesmerizing world of Anwyvn.”—Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author

"From the first chapter I was drawn into a viciously beautiful world of hidden fae and magic. Johnson knows how to weave true enemies-to-lovers tension that will drive you wild in the best ways. The found family and side-characters are equally loveable and I can't wait to see what comes next!"—LJ Andrews, USA Today bestselling author

World building

Fantastic start to a series. Just had some pacing issues and could have been shortened. This just felt too long

I need more!

The world building in this book was incredible! The character development was great, the burn was SO slow, and my girl JJ is so good at banter, I love it! I almost regret reading/listening to this as soon as it released, because now I have to wait for the next book lol. I can’t wait!

Wind Weaving… or Just Whining?

I really struggled to get through this one. The story didn’t fully grab my attention until around 85% in, and by then, it felt a bit too late. Rhya, the main character, had so much potential but consistently fell flat. She came across as whiny and frustrating, and I just couldn’t get past it. I found myself empathizing more with Pen’s obvious irritation than with Rhya herself. Honestly, can someone be that daft? It’s possible the audiobook narration made it worse—her voice portrayal made Rhyea sound like a whiny simp, which didn’t help the character’s case. There are glimmers of an interesting story here, and the world-building has promise, but the character dynamics just didn’t work for me.

A little predictable... And annoying

I didn't care for the narrator too much. Her voice was a bit whiny, and it grated over time. I found that it made the FMC seem more whiny too, which was distracting.

The plot was fine, pretty entertaining, if a bit predictable at times. The pacing was a bit of an issue for me. I just didn't quite believe the feelings developing between the two main characters, it was really fast in regards to the actual time spent together in the book, but it also dragged on... And the banter between them was really annoying a lot of the time. I didn't think they had that much chemistry.

Spoiler alert!

The MMC is so clearly supposed to be a kind of Tamlin character, it was so obvious almost from the start. It really annoys me when authors seem to reuse characters like that, just changing them a bit, and think readers/listeners won't notice. Also Soren is such a Rhys character... It was so frustrating to read the romance in this book knowing this...

My kind of story

While I found the overall story very compelling and the author's ability to paint a picture with words, this book could have been several hours shorter.
For me, describing every teenage girl feeling that the main character ever had was over done. I could have fully experienced the romantic tension between the main characters with much fewer words.
I found myself at certain points fast forwarding a bit thinking, "okay I get how horny you are can we move on".
In spite of that I did really enjoy the book.

Where is book 2?

This book was so good but I need the second one ASAP. This is definitely a wish list book if you’re waiting for the second one to come out.

Soooooooo Gooood!!

First Fae book and it did not disappoint, I can not wait for the next book !

Slow start, strong finish

Once you get through the first third, the pace picks up. It’s a very slow burn, but enjoyable. Interesting world building. The narrator was ok but sometimes the tine didn’t quite match up with what I thought it would be

Brilliant

Fantastic book! The plot, the characters, the premise, the elemental magic! Been looking forward to this book for awhile and it doesn’t disappoint!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!

If you like fantasy, do yourself a favor and give this one a listen. It won't disappoint!!
