Light Weaver by Lusine Torossian

𝓡𝓪𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰 4/5⭐️

Light Weaver by Lusine Torossian is a Young Adult fantasy with a touch of romance. Satya an 18-year-old thief steals a resurrection artifact from the Golden King she and she uncovers a dark secret. Her escape leads her to an enemy whose history is intertwined with her past. 

The magic system in this book was really unique! I honestly found the trapping of souls to be particularly clever. The way the author showcases how and where they are trapped was definitely new for me I feel like. 

The infusion of Armenian mythology was new to me as well. I have not read any books I don’t think that have this blend of mythology and culture in it so it was nice to have a fresh feel to the fantasy genre. 

I loved Satye! What a strong and kick ass FMC. She is young but resilient. I like her attitude. She didn’t dwell when things didn’t go her way, she figured it out, and moved on! The only thing that I could think would have made this a a higher rating for me was a glossary of some sort. There were a few terms I was not familiar with and a lot of mythological names and things that would have been helpful to have more explanation on. 

This definitely was an enjoyable and quick read!

Recommend to those who like light young adult fantasy with a little romance, danger, and intrigue!

Thank you to the author for the ARC
