Can't find the words to thank the author for her work.
This is my brief, much less detailed ramble after reading The Weaver in its audio book version.
I am a real life lucid dreamer who's still afraid of openly saying it. I'm trying here. I've been afraid of nightmares all my life, and as I grew older, everyone around me has pushed me to belittle the significance of whatever my dreams try to tell me.
Then this book happened.
Eliane is a dreamer, raised as a weaver, in a world where having dreams is considered a plague. The Council has developed a method to take away people's dreams. For some reason Eliana is still able to dream, so she hides this skill to protect herself. As the story unfolds, Eliana learns the extend of the damage The Council has done to the island, and she will also learn to overcome her fears to embrace who she is and the hidden powers of her dreams to maybe, possibly, save herself and her loved ones from impending disaster.
The writing is skillful and the world is intriguing enough to make this blind person care regardless of not visualizing all the sensory details the author created, the characters feel realistic, and I know I am biased because of my personal connection to the symbolisms used throughout the story.
I am one of the readers this book needed to reach, and I don't know how to thank the author. I know she'll never see this, but I had to write it somewhere. Kiitos Emmi.
