As always, I love this writing duo and can't wait for more works they bring us, whether that be together or apart. Semi-regular “Ask me anything” or “Let’s talk about this topic” group chats or video chats (Facebook or Zoom) (wifi pending…) The inevitability of their pairing was a bit predictable, as the one new Weaver needed a Soulmate to increase their chances of closing the rift, so even though Harrison initially saw Hale as too young and unserious, the previously-straight Keeper eventually had his bi-awakening and fell head over jealous, possessive heels for Hale. As expected. 🙂

One lingering question I still have, though, at the end of this series, is...why now? Why in this generation did the Weavers all get their soulmates? What was different about it that they got them in this run of things, and none of the many, many times before over the centuries? What brought them together in this go of things? We want to reinforce that this is not the place to learn weaving from scratch. We highly encourage you to start by learning the basics of weaving in a class of some type (evening, online, full-time) and move on to my free youtube videos (with ads) BEFORE joining the Weavers’ Circle. We hope you can get the most out of the Weavers’ Circle, and this suggested approach will ensure that you are ready for the content here.

In the fall of 2018, I was robbed at gunpoint. Afterwards I came to a couple realizations. I’d abandoned my love of storytelling and I needed to be a more empathetic collaborator. I started hosting weekly Dungeons and Dragons games at my new job in the fall of 2019. Wanting to share good books, we added a book club soon after. Then the global pandemic happened. Those weekly scheduled events brought structure, purpose, and meaning in a time of chaos, uncertainty and social disconnection.

The ending made me happy, and I think the series has huge promise. Though this book was enjoyable, I hope the world-building continues to grow with each subsequent book in the series. This case of mistaken identity forces the cute artist to stay at the plantation house for his own protection while they search for a way to take down a witch.I love this series. From the first installment, I totally fell for this take on the battle between good and evil with our elemental magic user heroes. Of course, this meant that I had really high expectations for the grand finale. Storm Warrior does not disappoint. Weavers are committed to cultivating relationships throughout the network. They research and nurture sensitivity to the whole, calling attention to areas that are under-represented in DAF. As if that’s not enough to contend with, Clay can’t keep his hands off the man trying to rebuild the plantation house he’s temporarily living in. I'm not too bothered not to know the answers to those questions, so I'm not taking anything off my final rating of this book for it, and especially because it's just a general question for the series as a whole and not just this book, but those questions still linger for me. The ending was so satisfying and the epilogue makes for nice closure. I will miss this universe. It has been a very entertaining, clever, and well written fantasy trip populated with memorable and lovable characters.

I wouldn't exactly say that this book ended with a cliffhanger, but the setup was definitely in place for the next book to hit the ground running, hopefully with the almost-immediate discovery of more of the brothers.I wove this circle first but didn't like the way the sides of the circle came out, so I re-did it for this post. Now I'm not sure, I kinda like the original one, too! I also loved Wiley, who provided both sass and snark, even though he was dealing with OCD and had plenty of baggage in his own closet. I'm interested and excited for Gray's book, which I believe will be next. Something happens with Gray at the end during a battle that will follow into the next one, and also something else I'm curious to learn more about. Wonder who will be the one to melt Gray's grumpy heart.
