There was a lot of really interesting elements to this story. I love how focused it was on female relationships and sisterhood. None of the female characters have any names, which was a really bold choice by the author (to be fair, I think like 5 characters are ever named). However, the novel was really poorly paced, which was a criticism I saw that was very common. I also had a difficult time understanding the magic. I think I vaguely understood, but I really can't be sure. Like I had no idea what was going on between the narrator and Lo-Melkhiin at the beginning.

I liked how the author set up a lot of time with weaving and spinning, since the next book is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Unfortunately, I didn't like this book enough to continue with the series.
