“Hearts That Cut” failed to live up to “Threads That Bind.” In the sequel, the reader is kept marching through a lot of scenes but little seems to happen through most of it. When something does happen, it’s rushed.
I’m not sure if this series is a duology or not—things seemed that it could be wrapped up but the whole book suffered from middle book syndrome and the ending wasn’t particularly satisfying since it felt so rushed.
“Threads That Bind” was a creative, heartfelt book that kept me engaged the whole way through. The sequel, however, me wanting.
I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Amazing addition to the story. I really enjoyed exploring this world, I love the magic system, and really love that the tale does not pull from only Greek mythology.
I enjoyed watching Io grow and adapt. While I love good sibling stories, I liked watching her come into her own and seeming to find confidence in herself. I also liked the dynamic between Bianca and Io, Im glad we got so much of them together. And the ending was quite the climax to the tale.
I think the only real feedback I have is I wish there was some form of glossary, both of characters, as there are so many, and of what terms mean, to help me under and keep track of everything.
