Review of 'Weaveworld' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is another Barker book which deals with alternate dimensions and creative world building. This one deals with a hidden world within a tapestry which is in danger of being destroyed. It is not as magical as Imajica but it definitely has its moments. This is also a much faster read than Imajica and so it is a good introduction to Barker for those who are intimidated by 1000+ page books or someone who doesn't feel comfortable with questions of sexuality and gender.
