DID NOT FINISH: 47%

I wanted to love this book, but I just do not care. I put it down for a couple of days, hoping I'd at least feel curious enough to want to know if I was right about a couple of things, but I don't care at all. I also loathe one central trope. and if I'd known it was a thing in this book, I likely never would have even picked it up. I think I'd recommend this to other people who do enjoy that trope, though.

Threads That Bind offers the reader a unique concept. Drawing from Greek mythology, Kika Hatzopoulou has created an imaginative world where there exists a community of people called the 'other-born' who inherit their gifts from the Gods they are associated with. Io, our protagonist, is descended from the Fates and has the ability to see the threads that connect people, places and objects. It's quite a fascinating and intriguing skill that quickly hooks the reader. In this story, she is investigating stranger murders committed by women with their life threads severed. Io dives into the investigation, which leads her into the criminal underground where she will encounter the complexities of politics, love, family and friendship.

The book explores many topics: discrimination against other-born, the ties that bind families together, and even the concept of fate and its link with love. Whilst set in a fantasy world, there are themes that are directly applicable to day-to-day life, which ensures that it remains relatable. It's fairly evenly paced, focusing on world building for what looks like it could be a riveting series, whilst also driving the plot forward when it needs to accelerate. There are some good twists and turns that keep the reader hooked.

All in all, Threads That Bind successfully weaves (pun intended) a part-fantasy, part-crime mystery together and Hatzopoulou should be applauded for this. It's the kind of opening book in a series that ensures the reader is desperate for more. I therefore I eagerly await the next installment.

A copy of this book was provided for review by the publisher via NetGalley.

Started and finished date - 02.08.25 to 04.08.25.
My rating - Four Stars.
I really enjoyed and I would this book be turn in to TV show also I think people who like the lightning Thief by Rick Riordan or lore by Alexandra Bracken may like is book. The cover of book was stunning. The writing was fine and the writing was easy to follow also the ending of book was okay. This book remind me of the video game Stray Gods. The atmosphere was pretty good and I enjoyed the mythology but I would have it flash out bit more also both mystery and romance was well done. The paced of plot was bit rush. The characters were okay but I think they needed to be flash out bit more.
