Woven in Moonlight
Woven in Moonlight
Ibañez incorporated the common Bolivian practice of weaving into the magic system in the novel, which ultimately was the catalyst for setting the novel in a Bolivian-inspired world. She wanted the magic to feel authentic and natural to the fictionalized culture. Some of the themes reference the current political climate in Bolivia. It was listed by TIME magazine as one of the 100 best fantasy novels of all time. The book was also a finalist for the William C. Morris Award.
