An amazing story of growth and accepting your inner shadows.

I really enjoyed this book. The writing style was clear and descriptive, painting a beautifully vibrant world. Lusinie Torossian has the ability to write a beautiful fantasy story. Personally, I was excited to read a story based on Armenian myths, as I have never done so before and I can say that I learned a lot. It is always nice to learn about different cultures and their stories.

Satya, our main character, is a strong young girl that has to overcome her self-doubts and accept her innermost self in order to fullfill her fate. Each challenge helps her grow as a character and shows her, that not everything is black and white, but balance is needed.

The romance is more of a subplot in this story, wich I am happy for, even though I would have liked to see more of their relatonship develop at the end of the book. The development in feelings between Satya and her love interest throughout the story, however, felt natural and not forced.

My only real point of critique would be, that I would like to know more about the Enlighters motives and his plans overall. I feel like that fell a bit flat. In addition I feel that the reason for the unrest between the gods could have been a bit more explained.

Thank you to NetGalley and Lusine Torossian for providing me with an E-ARC in exchange for my honest review. This review will be posted on Fable, Storygraph, as well as on my TikTok Account (@mellii_zz) and on my Instagram (@melanies_bookish_life).

This is an intriguing fantasy story set in a gorgeous world. The world-building was amazing. I loved all the little details and descriptions.
The story features a young girl named Satya who, together with her father, steals an ancient relic from the king's palace. This unfolds the whole series of events that thrust Satya into the world of unspeakable dangers and fomidable magic.
The plot itself, unfortunately, didn't manage to truly captivate me, as I found it to be a little predictable. The final showdown with the antagonist and the ending itself also felt a bit forced and underwhelming.
All in all, the world, the mythology and magical system of the book are definitely worth exploring.

"Light Weaver by Lusine Torossian is a mesmerizing read that had me hooked from start to finish. The storyline is expertly woven, with characters that leap off the page and a plot that's both captivating and emotionally resonant.

As a reader, I was deeply invested in Satya's journey, which perfectly captures the ups and downs of adolescence. Torossian's writing masterfully conveys the turmoil and uncertainty of growing up, making it easy to become fully immersed in Satya's world.

One of the most poignant moments for me was the reunion between Satya, her little brother Caral, and her mother. I won't lie – I cried hard during this scene! Torossian's ability to evoke such strong emotions is a testament to her skill as a storyteller.

Overall, I devoured Light Weaver in record time, and I'm still reeling from the experience. If you're looking for a book that will make you cry, and maybe even cry some more, then this is the perfect read for you."
