𝙍𝙝𝙮𝙖 - She is a halfling that is being hunted/captured by the mortals who want to do away with all things magic. Although she doesn’t fully understand her magical abilities, she is on her way to a fiery death. That is until she is taken by the “Scythe” who ends up saving her life. Rhya is such a strong, fierce character. What a spitfire - I love her sass so much!
𝙎𝙘𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙚/𝙋𝙚𝙣𝙣 - He is grumpy helmet wearing commander with so many secrets. He saves Rhya from death and takes her to his kingdom where he trains her to use her magic and reveals an ancient prophecy that they are part of! .

𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: This book is just a reminder as to why I love Romantasy! The Wind Weaver is the first book that I have read by Julie Johnson and it won't be the last! I absolutely loved this cover!
I enjoyed this writing/plot so much. What great world building and so many adventures. That said, I do feel that at times it had pacing issues and could have been a little shorter than its 500+ pages. I love the character development - the tension between Penn and Soren. It gives such an ACOTAR vibe! This book is loaded with angst and banter. I love the elemental magic added to the story. My only real complaint is that I wish this book was a dual POV.
This is such a great start to the series. I am SO excited to read the upcoming books!
