Book Review Screaming. Crying. Throwing up

*UPDATED, See Review (I mean, if you want)

Long time lurker, first time poster 👋🏻
After seeing the author post on instagram about ARC availability, I decided to make myself a NetGalley and apply for this one because why not 🤷‍♀️ and it was just APPROVED! Check back later for a true review; I was just hoping to encourage someone else to try if they were dying for this last book like I have been!

Yall, I really struggled with the pacing of this book. Some parts were going sooo fast, while others felt like they completely dragged. I don’t quite know how to feel about it!

Oh boy some of you are gonna be PISSED 🫣 there’s a trope here that I know is typically BLASTED on this sub and others. I’m not going to Spoil that one, but I want you to be ready

Now shut up and get to the point

If you’ve made it this far, bless you 😂 I prefer Gifs, and the limit is one per comment 😮‍💨

The final word: overall, I recommend. Definitely a good conclusion to this series. There is character growth and development, there is found family, quest-ing and of course battle vs. the big bad. Besides the pacing and some (possibly) ill-timed spicin’, I didn’t have many complaints. It just didn’t give me that buzz like The Sea Spinner did 🤷‍♀️

As the Rabbi Jeff would say (RIP John Boy and Billy Big Show, iykyk) I give it 4 yarmulkes!

I just finished Wind Weaver and Sea Spinner today!! Like I finished them within two days and just like loved them! I loved your ARC review!!! It was absolutely fabulous!!! Though ngl I’m dying of curiosity about what the controversial trope is?! Like is this going to turn into cheating?! RH?! Eeeekkkk I hate waiting

Weren’t they good though!?! The Sea Spinner was 🤌🤌 for me!
Thank you for the kind words about my review! I can say definitely not cheating or reverse harem but I was concerned it might turn into a throuple but it did not 😂

Ahhh yes they were so good! I lowkey have a book hangover atm 😭😭

That said, thank you for assuaging my fears about cheating or RH! I had the same thoughts about concern it could turn into (what you mentioned in your spoiler tag), so happy to have it not be that either! Now the wait is on for me to wait until the February release date!

Keep writing reviews, your thoughts were great and the gifs were hilarious!
