Loom. This world is way more developed and complicated than the Air Awakens Series. And no, they are not related. The beginning of the book feels kind of slow because of all the descriptions and world building, I got a little annoyed about not knowing all the facts and being left to guess, but as the book progresses things start falling in place and I was eager to find out more.

Fenthri and Dragons are the main races. A mix of both gives birth to a new one, Chimera. Dragons have magic and Fenthri don't, they used to live independent lives until the Dragon King used his entire forces to submit the Fenthri to his will. After that, the Fenthri are forced to live in casts or divisions, like Divergent.

There are 3 main characters: Arianna, Cvareh and Florence.

Arianna is Chimera, Cvareh a Dragon and Florence a Fenthri. Arianna and Florence are teacher/students/best friends with a really deep relationship. Cvareh is a Dragon in seek of ways to help overthrow the Dragon King's empire in order to put his sister on the throne. He seeks Arianna's help in order to get to the Alchemists and fulfill his purpose. These 3 have completely different personalities, they blend, they clash, they explode, they laugh, they forgive, they fight and somehow they start liking each other.

There's magic, there's intelligence. This world feels futurist, we have metal, flying things, color, I pictured this as a 5th element kind of environment.

I feel Elise Kova has grown a lot in this book. The way she writes, I saw no grammatical errors, they sentiment she put on each character, she even made me like Leona! And thankfully this doesn't end in a horrible cliffhanger. I was truly entertained.

The Alchemists of Loom The Loom Saga Elise Kova 9781619844414 Books Reviews

The Alchemists of Loom is the first book in a steampunk/fantasy series by the ever wonderful Elise Kova, and I can tell you guys that it will be the reason why many readers' year will start off with a BANG. With incredible characters, a jaw-dropping world, and lots action, this book will definitely make a run for bestseller status!

What I liked

Elise is the kind of author who knows how to work magic into words. She hooks you right into the story and makes you feel as if you were there instead of reading. I wasn't even a page in when I was already thrown into the dangerous life of Arianna and trying to keep up with all her badassery, who just happens to be my favorite from the four points of view we get in this book. Yup. FOUR. And they were all amazing. Dragons and Chimaeras, anyone?

Not so many authors can get away with writing dual point of views, let alone four, but Elise pulls this off quite well. All four voices were distinct and rich with their personalities, never confusing me for a second of whose POV I was reading. Despite loving Arianna's POV more than the others, I also enjoyed reading from Cvareh's, Florence's or Leona's POV. They offered different views of their world and their race, so it was nice to get to know them on a deeper level than just from the outside. I particularly liked the POV of one of these characters who is actually an antagonist--so interesting to be on the"bad" side for once!

But the world of Loom! Gah, I love it! Maybe it's because I got the chance to join a guild before I even knew the characters or the plot of this book, but I became rather attached to the world and its territories. I'm a Harvester (one of five guilds--sort of like territories-- in Loom) through and through, and even though we don't get to read much of it in this book, I still felt shivers whenever it was mentioned. As if they were speaking about MY home. So yeah, Elise Kova is a master in world-building. Just you wait until you learn all about this world (worlds?). IT'S HUGE. Because we get the world of Loom AND Nova (where dragons live and who rule over Loom). And the system is intriguing (to me), so messed up for the people of Loom, and I am 85% sure I wouldn't survive if I ever left the Harvester's Guild (I'm no Ari OR Flor).

I know all of the above might sound confusing, but there's really no way I could explain in few words what this book has to offer. It's a ridiculously long list, but I can assure readers will love it! It has new creatures! Magic and Steampunkiness (is that even a term?)! And just for the record, yes... there might be a hint of romance in there somewhere. So never fear romance lovers, Elise Kova has you covered as well! ;)

What left me wanting more

I do have to admit that despite The Alchemists of Loom being action-packed right from the start, I still feel like describing the first half as slow. It's not a boring kind of slow, but it was a slow that whenever I had to put the book down, it would take me a few days to pick it up again, get hooked, and repeat the process for 2 weeks. That bummed me a bit. However, this cycle thankfully stopped right after I reached the second half and things got REAL. Then it was non-stop reading until the very end!

Maybe it was just me and my lousy reading mood. Maybe...

Final Verdict

Do I recommend The Alchemists of Loom? YES YES YES. Elise Kova's new series will surely make every reader fall head-over-heels with this fantastical steampunk world and demand the release of the next book.
The Alchemists of Loom is the first book in the Loom Saga by author Elise Kova. The Loom Saga is a young adult high fantasy series that I have completely fallen in love with. You know the feeling you get when you pick up a book by a new to you author- you are excited and hopeful that the book will be excellent. (but also a little nervous because you want to enjoy the novel so badly…and what if you don’t. What if you are the person that the book didn’t work for.) But then, as you read, the story exceeds all of your expectations. You completely fall in love with the characters and the story and the world. And then you finish the book and you find out that the author has SO MANY OTHER BOOKS! Multiple series with multiple books written. It is like stumbling on to a gold mine. That is what discovering Elise Kova felt like to me. She dropped a gold mine in my lap! And I couldn’t be happier about it.

I loved everything about The Alchemists of Loom. I loved the characters. I loved that it was written in multiple perspectives. I beyond loved the world and the magic system. I even loved the tiny speck of romance to come. (which by the way is huge for me. For me to love a book that has little to no romance in it is a big deal for me as a reader.) The Alchemists of Loom was a complete hit for me. I am already reading book 2, The Dragons of Nova and loving it as well.

In the Alchemists of Loom we are introduced to two worlds. The sky realm of Nova and the ground world of Loom. Dragons inhabit Nova and Fenhri, Chimera and Alchemists inhabit. The Dragons of Nova rule over both of the worlds. I loved the complex world, magic and caste system put in place. And it was pretty complex. In Nova there are different dragon houses and many different levels within each house. In Loom, the alchemists are divided into different guilds, which are linked to different trades. The guilds are branded into the Fen’s faces. Our main characters are Ari, an unmarked chimera known as the White Wraith. And Cvareh a dragon on a secret mission. I am not going to tell you anything more than that because The Alchemists of Loom was really a delight to read and discover for myself. I love Elise Kova’s writing style. She does drop you in the middle of this intricate world, but she shows it to you in really organic bits and pieces.

Ari and Cvareh are fantastic. I loved watching the development of their relationship. It was so fantastic. I am rooting so incredibly hard for these two, you have no idea. I especially loved their stark differences, which turned into similarities as the book progressed. It was really something to behold. Dragons are very showy. They love bright colors and are very fashion forward. Ari on the other hand, is not. She is as her name suggests- white and grey in everything about her. Ari and Cvareh are so special, both in their unique abilities but also in their fierceness. I love how badass Ari is. It is so nice to see such a strong female character.

It is really hard to do justice to this book in a short review. The adventure Ari, Florence and Cvareh set out on is so exciting, the magic fascinated me and I love the politics of the two worlds. I am itching for more in this series and more from Elise Kova in general. I need to buy all of her Air Awakens series because I am addicted to her writing. The Alchemists of Loom is one of my favorite reads of 2017 and the Loom Saga is shaping up to be on of my favorite fantasy series. This is a book you do not want to miss.
