After hearing nothing but praise for this book, I'm excited to say I've joined the hype-train!
Woven in Moonlight is just as the title insinuates—beauty. The world and character building are phenomenal, and the addition of the Spanish language and culture—maravilloso! I think it's really important that we start bringing these additions of languages and culture into novels, so I was really excited to see that in this one.
However, one thing that kind of set me off about this novel was the pacing. Something that should've happened in the late-beginning to the middle of the novel ended up happening where the falling action was supposed to be. Because of that, I felt like a chunk of the novel just felt weird to me.
Though, the greats clearly trump the bads with this one; otherwise, I wouldn't be saying that I loved it.
I thought that the storyline that was curated for this book was absolutely perfect. I want to see more of these original, new and fresh fantasies. I'm really tired of seeing books with similar characters or storylines, so this one was really like an eye-opener in the end.
For that, I rate this novel 4 stars. I look forward to seeing more from Isabel, and I'm already planning my reread for the future.
