another netgalley review from yours truly. thank you to netgalley and the publisher for sending me the e-ARC for Light Weaver by Lusine Torossian!

Light Weaver is an upcoming young adult fantasy novel following a thief, Satya. what starts as a dangerous but clear-cut mission - steal a lost artifact that can bring back her family - leads to self-discovery and power unlike anything Satya has known in her lifetime.

Overall, this book was fun and interesting and kept me engaged pretty well! I liked all of the characters well enough, and each chapter left me curious as to what happens next.

Where this book fell flat for me, however, is that I felt like I knew all of the plot beats. The pacing and story line felt familiar, and not in a good way. I wasn't as attached to the characters as the book needed me to be for the emotional moments to hit hard. Honestly, it could be because i'm exhausted from work and it's been rainy and cold here so like. idk. But, overall while the individual details were interesting - the devs were cool - it didn't grab my attention the way that it could have if i'd read it maybe,,,,, 5 or 6 books-that-have-the-same plot-as-this-one ago? if that makes sense.

Another problem i had was Satya's sudden ability to make intricate and smart plans (some of them on the fly) without any schooling on such things. how she manages to come up with better plans than practiced and accomplished soldiers is beyond me. her sudden understanding of her relics and their powers, as well. i felt like we didn't get to see any of this apparent growth she had.

Overall, 3.25 stars!

Glimmer’s mental image of how her father died at the hands of Shadow Weaver. Not everything is as it seems…

Fun fact: my phone warned me about sending nudes when I posted this to Bluesky. The real reason Micah has that look on his face /s.

It hit me... while there is no shortage of emotionally manipulative villains in She-Ra, they are really bad at picking their targets.

Shadow Weaver: "Ah, Micah. You will lead me to greatne... Adora, YOU will leave me to greatness. You are not a goody-two-shoe like my last ward are you... you are? How dissapointing... Glimmer, YOU won't chose what's right over personal gain in the last minu... OK, you would. You know, maybe kids simply aren't worth the effort. Castaspella?"

Catra, meanwhile: "I'd literarely tear the world apart for a pat on the head."

Shadow Weaver: "Shut up, cat. I'm busy. Hmmmm, let's try Adora again."

Light Hope: "Who wants power?"

Glimmer: "ME!"

Light Hope: "Who wants to fulfill the legacy of the princesses of old?"

Glimmer: "Mememememe! Pick me!"

Scorpia: "Say, I wonder if me connecting to the legacy of my mothers would forward anyone's plans."

Light Hope: "And who wants to get access to the secrets of the first ones and all their tech?"

Entrapta: "Heheheheheheh!"

Light Hope: "Adoooooora!"

- -

Horde Prime: "Ah, princess Glimmer. You are interested in personal glory and power, right?"

Glimmer: "What? No! That shit nearly fucked me and all my friends over and I'm stewing in guilt over it."

Catra: "I wouldn't mind some power..."

Horde Prime, ignoring her: "But how about the chance to bask in the glory of Prime?"

Hordak: "I'd give everything to..."

Glimmer: "Ew. I'm busting your fucking orb right now."

Entrapta: "Hello! Anyone want to tempt me with some tech and science?"

Horde Prime: "Nah, I'm just going to order your boyfriend to shoot you in the face instead."

Hordak: "Wow! This is really illuminating for my priorities."

- -

Double Trouble: Wow, you are all amatures. *flawlessly manipulates the rebellion into shambles and then turns around and have Catra and Hordak destroy each other with a few words*

(To be fair to Glimmer, she also pulled off the manipulation of Scorpia without a hitch)

(And to be fair to Catra, she pulled off the manipulations of both Entrapta and Adora perfectly)
