Nightweaver has so many layers within it, a regency pirate adventure with monster hunting and a forbidden romance wrapped up in an intriguing fantasy world. 

I loved the writing and how from the very first page this captivating dark fantasy  had me gripped and this continued throughout the book, Aster was such a strong and fierce FMC and I felt so much for her, a pirate who has never set foot on land, faces heartache when her brother is killed by Nightweavers. (beings who have long since claimed human lands for themselves leaving many humans to make the sea their homes) Aster and her family are taken captive. When mercy comes from a Nightweaver lord who buys their indenture, Aster finds herself along with the rest of her family as servants at Bludgrave Manor living with the very monsters she has been taught to hate. Though what awaits her there is court intrigue, a forbidden romance and as she sets herself on a course of vengeance, secrets about the people she is working for and learning that everything she has always been led to believe might not be the full truth.

The world building is darkly atmospheric and I loved how vivid everything was in the descriptions from creatures to very fine details it is all woven into a story that is slowly built and well developed the pacing did dip towards the middle but soon picked up again. Family loyalty is the forefront of this story with the romance as more of a subplot and I was more intrigued with another character than the love interest so I'm really looking forward to seeing how everything plays out with that. 

I can't wait to see where Aster's journey takes her not only learning more about herself but getting answers to some more secrets and whether they should have stayed hidden.
