At the beginning of the book I was lost. I couldn’t follow along and I felt like I was missing something. But the more I read and became invested I truly enjoyed the book. It is different than what I usually read, but it was adventurous and mysterious! It was a fantasy mystery and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed how the Io learns to be brave and accept herself for who she is. To stop allowing others to be in control of her. This was a good book and I enjoyed the adventure!

I love love love the magic system here! So much fun and I loved learning about it. I adored the unsettling vibes of the Nine SO MUCH!!! Also the complexity of Thais and Bianca??? LOVED!!!! They were my favorites. One thing I didn't like was the romance plot. I just didn't really like how it was played out with the whole "he has a girlfriend" thing for the majority of it.
I love mythology. Reading a story that involves the Greek mythology with the 3 Fates set in a modern fantasy world just makes it all better.
This book has a world set in an apocalyptic city atmosphere with an unusual magic system is inspired by Greek goddesses and muses (the "Other" born). If this didn't peak your interest, there is a murder mystery with a lot of action, underground gangs, political manipulation, a complicated family history, and a "fated" love story with soulmates Io and Edei.
Threads that Bind touched on themes of inequality and oppression, corruption, and has representation of LGBTQIA+ and mental health.
Threads that Bind is a complex read but it is worth it with it's combination of mythology, murder, mystery, humor, romance, fate - and of course, magic.
The Threads that Bind is a must read for any one who loves YA, mythology, or stories about family.

The banter between Io and Edei is everything
Sloppy with the plot and overly complicated. There is someone named Saint-Yves which made me think of apricot scrub every time. Plot points about how powers work were inconsistent. Normally I’d have finished a book of this length and genere within a couple of days. I’m 3 days in and can’t get past page 76. I hate to quit but I just cannot get into this one

the magic in this book was very interesting but i found it hard to follow at some points. Io was a wonderful protagonist and everything unfolded in such a neat and satisfying manner. if i had thought harder, i would have seen the plot twist coming but luckily i’m a thoughtless reader. i think that there needs to be a second installment, i need to know what happens next!!
This book deserves so much more attention!! I really can't wait for news on the next one
