thecaptainsquarters 's review for:

Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken
2.0

Ahoy there me mateys!

This novel was apparently written as a gift for a friend. This book has a rather simple feel to it but was entertaining. I think my major problem with it was that the two main characters are supposed to save the world. And of course they do, but the overall manner in which it happens did not do justice to the magic set up in the world itself or to the characters’ strengths and talents. Also there was not enough explanation of how the magic really worked at all though the concept was rather interesting. I would say the entertainment value is worth a read and it is definitely a good book in that it seems to have been written for that one friend in mind. A good first try and I will certainly try one of her next novels.
