Hi Cara,
Today is my stop on The Sky Weaver Blog Tour.
The Sky Weaver is the third and final book in the Iskari series by Kristen Ciccarelli. The previous books in the series are;
At the end of one world, there always lies another.
Safire, a soldier, knows her role in this world is to serve the King of Firgaard—helping to maintain the peace in her oft-troubled nation.
Eris, a deadly pirate, has no such conviction. Known as the Death Dancer for her ability to evade even the most determined of pursuers, she possesses a superhuman power to move between worlds.
When one can roam from dimension to dimension, can one ever be home? Can love and loyalty truly exist?
Now Safire and Eris—sworn enemies—find themselves on a common mission: to find Asha, the Last Namsara. From the port city of Darmoor to the fabled faraway Star Isles, their search and their stories become woven ever more tightly together as they discover the uncertain fate they’re hurtling towards may just be a shared one. In this world—and the next.

The Sky Weaver is an Epic end to an Amazing Saga.
Safire and Eris are our leading Ladies in The Sky Weaver. Safire had been introduced in The Last Namsara but now in The Sky Weaver Safire, true self comes out. Eris is a new character who instantly grabbed my attention from her first line;
“Eris had never met a lock she couldn’t pick.”
The story of the Sky Weaver God and how she came to be is one of my favourite religions origin stories. The way the origin of Sky Weaver, weavers in with Eris and Safire story perfectly.
Eris isn’t the normal pirate or thief, her abilities give a new magical take on the pirate and thief norms as she can get into anywhere. Also, love her outlaw name Death Dancer.
In The Sky Weaver, there is an F/F romance. I like the fact that the issue with them being together was more about Eris being a criminal than her being female. Each book in the series has a different relationship type, which feels very true to real life.
The plot of The Sky Weaver is interesting, fast-paced, funny, romantic. It has acton, pirates, Gods and Dragons. As the story progresses the plot evolves from a simple pirate thief to a story about waring Gods.
With all the books in the Iskari series, they can be read as a standalone but you will get so much more from the books by reading them in order.
My rating for The Sky Weaver is 5 out of 5.
