The Weavers of Alamaxa

A very satisfying conclusion to the Alamaxa Duology. While the first book focused on our two women MCs fighting for their right to use their elemental magic and the politicking in this patriarchal society, book two focused on war. It’s one of the few series that’s made me really mad, but in a good way. This was almost a 5-star book, it just had some plot convenience things and rushing that knocked it down a smidge.

I *highly* recommend this underread series, but especially for people who like diving deep into MC’s motivations, thought processes, etc, politics and revolutions, you’re looking for non-Western inspired fantasy, you like books that explore power imbalances that resemble those of the real world, or you want a short series that is fast-paced.
