With the lyricism of Ishiguro's NEVER LET ME GO, and the world building brilliance of Atwood, this is Emmi Itaranta's second novel. 'Where itaranta shines is in her understated but compelling characters' Red star review (for MEMORY OF WATER), Publishers Weekly. Emmi Itäranta's prose combines the lyricism of Ishiguro's NEVER LET ME GO. This is her second novel, following the award-winning MEMORY OF WATER.

This book piqued my interest after I'd read Memory of Water (which I enjoyed). This one seemed like Itaranta was trying too hard. Some parts I found to be incoherent, or, at the very least, strange enough that I had trouble following the story line.

This grief is strange to me, but they inhabit it together.

Not great, not horrible. Not the best world building I have come across.

I have such mixed feeling about this book. I finally finished and was blown away by the last ~25 pages. The world and the descriptions were beautiful, but the plot seemed out of sorts and too late to the punch. At least the main romance (f/f by the way) was well paced and satisfying.

I want to love it! I really do, but I have misgivings. If you like lyrical writing and imaginative worlds, try it out!

I‘ve only just begun, but I have high hopes for The Weaver. Not only do dreams play a crucial role, but apparently there‘s something called the ā€œdream-plagueā€ and I am on board for it. #speculativefiction #scifi #arc

"Sydämeni lyö teräviä lyöntejä, joista jokaisen tunnen erikseen, punoo hänen surunsa osaksi minua ja samalla varoittaa rajasta, jonka olen ehkä ylittänyt."
