An epic romantic fantasy that will scorch your heart and leave you gasping for air! I loved every moment with Rhea, the journey to the fae lands, the found family she encounters along the way, and the swoon-worthy fae lords circling her orbit.

Fae Rhea is thrust into a world she doesn’t understand, into a land where everyone knows who she is and what she is destined for— but Rhea? She’s clueless. As things progress and the lies and world unweave we find ourselves clinging to each twist— to the prophecy and to the fae she can’t escape.

I loved this one so much! For fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer Armentrout, you'll love the excitement, the drama, and the romance. I am HOOKED on this series: the adventure and the romance! Bring on more Julie Johnson!

Thank you Ace & Berkley for the early copy! I loved it so, so much! :)

I really enjoyed the romance fantasy element in this universe, it had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the world that was created. The characters had that overall concept and was invested in what was happening to them. Julie Johnson has a great writing style and was enjoying read this overall and the characters were wonderfully done.

Fantasy for 2025 is hitting HARD.

The pacing, incredible. The world-building, exciting. The magic, insanely fun.

The romance, slow burn and rage-inducing but ultimately solid. I was frustrated a few times but dumb behavior but it’s only because I cared so much (which means you know it’s an amazing one).

I’m all in on our wind weaver, Rhya! Highly recommend!

If netgalley did .5 ratings, I would rated this as 4.5🌟
“You are the storm, Rhya Fleetwood”
Absolutely loved this quote. The start of this book was very grim but it went straight to the point. When the mysterious commander scythe comes for Rhya and actually saves her, toms of questions emerge for the reader. The only downside I saw here was how slow it was to read about Rhya and Scythe travelling through the lands. I was low key losing interest. But the moment they both cross to the northlands and it is revealed that Scythe’s name is actually Penn, that intrigue came immediately for me.

After that point, this book became action packed which I absolutely loved. We find out more about Rhya and that she is not just a wind weaver but THE wind weaver. And this is what I found very original, each element has its own person called remnant and when one dies another is born with that power. It was interesting to know about Enid nd how Rhya is so different from her.

Rhya’s character development here is the real star. We see her go through all these hurdles and she still stands up. From being kidnapped, to learning she has magic, to her chemistry with Penn, finally making friends and trying to control her powers. We definitely have a different Rhya at the end of this book from that start Rhya.

I am confident that this book (series?) will be one of the best big things to come for the booktok/bookstagram people. I really think they will love it.

Talk about starting off with a BANG! I loved that this book griped me from the start with action-packed scenes, lush imagery and beautiful prose. I am a HUGE fan of books that don’t give you all the details up front so it was a lot of fun to have that mystery/unknown aspect, as our FMC learns more about herself and her world. This was such an epic start to a new trilogy and I cannot wait to see where it goes from here.

ps if totally gave me the same epic feeling I had when I was reading TOG. This is the start of something great…

What I loved…
- action-packed, fast-paced, and great overall pacing
- lush imagery that made you feel like you were right there in the thick of it with the characters
- mystery/intrigue, single POV so you learn about the world as the FMC does
- the plot REVEALS and twists were heart pounding and epic!
- crazy beasts and magical creatures
- thorough world building with minimal info-dumps
- the romantic sub-plot was top notch, SLOW burn & high tension 10/10
- Found family, the side characters were A++
- Grade A++ banter (not just with the MMC, but with the side characters too!)
- elemental magic, chosen one, and an ancient prophecy

What I didn’t love…
- longer chapters (look I’m just not a fan ok)
- at times the romance veered a tiny itty bitty bit into the cheesy lane - but most will probably love it
- while the overall pacing was excellent there was a bit of a lull around the 60-80% mark - the longer chapters combined with the super fast paced beginning made the slow down (to do important things like finish fleshing out the world and character development) a bit more noticeable.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy of this book for an honest review!
I’m not happy with this rating for an ARC and know that I don’t give this rating easily but I need to be honest.
Sadly, this is a DNF for me at 60% as this 1) despicably failed the Bechdel Test and 2) had no plot whatsoever.

This is a 500 pages book. Meaning I’ve read a little over 300 pages. The plot should’ve already been mentioned and moving by now. It would’ve benefited being cut from at least 150 pages.

I’m actually a whole lot tired of having fierce/snarky personality 20yo FMC who are painted as ignorant. The ignorance made her seem naive and completely unintelligent. And BTW - the FMC is the only woman focus for 53% of the book !!! And then we FINALLY meet another woman but she’s a complete mean girl and refers to the FMC as ‘whore’… I thought we were over this. It despicably failed the Bechdel Test and I wish it was marketed as having only one woman because this isn’t enough. I’m sure other readers will feel the same way I did ; I need female friendships. She’s kind of painted as one of the guys at some point and I guess that’s what the author wanted to focus on but Adult women friendships are absolutely necessary. It feels useless for me to read a book that doesn’t have them. It’s always disappointing for me because I always feel like those types of books are a setback in the Adult genre.

There’s a gigantic info dump at 40% in form of conversations and it doesn’t move us anywhere along a plot of some kind.

There is a random display of jealousy at the 44% mark that rubbed me the wrong way. Especially considering the romance in this Romantasy lacked chemistry on whole new levels.

In conclusion, I do think this needs adjustment to appeal to Adult readers. This might be more suitable for 12-13yo. I was rather enjoying the first 12% but then it got tedious and repetitive and mixed with all that is mentioned ; just felt like a big fiasco.

Wow! Truly a remarkable beginning to what I hope will be a great trilogy. This sucked me in from the get go and I am honestly pretty shocked but thrilled at how much I enjoyed this.

I really enjoyed this first book in the series and am looking forward to reading the next book. The world building was detailed and really worth knowing.

"The Wind Weaver" sucked me in from the very beginning! This is a big book (500+ pages) but the author is an amazing storyteller; she set the perfect pace and kept me hooked the entire time. There are soooo many elements that I absolutely loved: enemies (maybe?) to more, epic adventures, new friends/found family, crazy battles, testing the limits, self discovery, and the perfect slow burn! Thankfully this is only book one in the Reign of Remnants series because as long as this book was it still wasn't enough! I need more!!!! If you love fantasy, romance, romantasy, medieval vibe, or a good slow burn then I highly recommend you check out this book!

This romantasy is the kind of spellbinding adventure that sweeps you off your feet from the start. Rhya Fleetwood is such a captivating heroine you can’t help but root for her every step of the way. The world of Anwyvn is richly drawn, the magic system here feels fresh, and Rhya’s connection to her powers is deeply tied to the emotional core of the story. The way the plot balances action, magic, and romance is seamless, pulling into the whirlwind of her choices and the larger battle for Anwyvn’s fate. If you love a high-stakes adventure with a slow-burn, heart-pounding romance and lush, magical world-building, this story delivers in spades.
