I received a free copy of Woven in Moonlight by Isabel Ibañez in exchange for an honest review.
Throughout reading Woven In Moonlight I felt myself emerged in a world fraught with political tension and characters willing to fight for what they believe in. The author's sensory descriptions truly made me feel as though I was right along side the main character throughout the duration of the story. One of my favorite aspects of this piece was how unique the magic was within this story. I absolutely loved the idea of being able to weave moonlight and see the future from the constellations. I also appreciated that the over the course of this story the main character comes to understand that sometimes it is necessary to destroy the thing you once thought you needed, and that some types of power are just too dangerous regardless of whose hands it is in. However, my favorite thing about
Woven In Moonlight is the focus that is placed on creating a united people instead of a divided one. That is something that is extremely relevant in today's political climate and I felt that connection strongly throughout the book.
The only aspect of this story that fell flat for me was the reveal of who El Lobo is. While I understand that it was supposed to be a big reveal that El Lobo was in fact Rumi, I found it obvious from the first time we are introduced to Rumi as a character. I enjoyed the development of their relationship, it just didn't have the shocking aspect to it that the character explains feeling when she realizes that they are the same person.
I thoroughly enjoyed Women In Moonlight and cannot wait to read what Isabel Ibañez writes next!
