This book wasn't the best fantasy I've read all year - but I think it has potential, and it's not unusual for the first book in a series to need a little settling in. It was enjoyable on its own, and I'm interested enough to see how the next one feels.
Interesting concept, but rather lacking in delivery. The world-building is vague and sometimes feels inconsistent. The heroine, Sydelle, is annoyingly inquisitive and stubborn about things she doesn't actually know... while everyone else mainly just ignores or dismisses her. Also, North is only 18, but somehow gives off the impression that he's much older than he really is. Which isn't exactly a good thing for me. It's all these small things that took away my enjoyment of reading this book.
Maybe Brightly Woven is simply not my cup of tea.
