OK, I'll admit it.

This was a cover buy.

I committed the oldest of sins and judged this book by its colourful, wonderful and alluring cover. And I must have been lucky because it paid off. Even though what I thought was magic realism turned out to be a fantasy novel, I enjoyed every word and every page.

Woven in Moonlight is based on Bolivian folk tales and lore. Entangled with Spanish words I had to look up and filled with wonder, it's nothing like anything I've ever read. The plot was so fast-paced and fun that I only managed to spend 24 hours in Ibañez' world before the pages had run out.

Such fun. Such joy. I cannot wait for the sequel.
