The Weavers of Alamaxa by Hadeer ElsbaiMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hadeer Elsbai picks right up where The Daughters of Izdihar left off with that weapons-grade cliffhanger, starting off first with Giorgina on the run underground in the city of Alamaxa while Nehal is stuck in a prison cell at the behest of the sinister Zirani queen, Ralisa, who will stop at nothing to eliminate weavers from the world. Just as the previous book drew a lot of Avatar parallels to Avatar Kyoshi, so this book incorporates a villain very similar to Amon, with a religious fundamentalist streak to make her even worse than Amon ever was. Just like the first book in the series, it's a blazing fast read that demands to be done in a single sitting, because you're going to need to know ASAP how Nehal and Giorgina and all the other ladies fighting to smash the patriarchy and the theocracy can beat all their combined enemies. So, to Alamaxa, I now bid a well earned ave atque vale.
