this is actually one of the most captivating fantasy worlds i have ever discovered in a book. unfortunately, i wasn't able to enjoy it as much due to the entire pseudocheating subplot and the fact that this entire book, including the romance, takes place within five days. who is becoming that obsessed over five days??? but i'm sure the next book will be better (it won't have the cheating thing), and i really did like io, so.

The magic system in this had me hooked right from the beginning. The different way powers are used on threads along with the Greek mythology throughout was perfect. I really enjoyed this and the plot was pacey along with the pinning romance. Overall a very good YA that I'd definitely recommend.

๐ I found the plot to be super interesting. I love Greek mythology, and love to read about the children of the gods (however far removed from the gods they are). The children of fate is also incredibly interesting to me.
The book starts out so strong, I was fully invested. The middle it meandered a bit more than I prefer. It does have interesting twists and turns and ends on quite the cliffhanger.
I love and appreciate the insights on society that leave the reader to draw parallels with our society.
๐บ I found the world building to be excellent. Lots of details that make it easy to invision. I love that instead of info dumping on the reader, the world is built by interspersing information throughout.
๐ฎ Being able to see and cut the threads of fate is wildly fascinating to me and I enjoyed it immensely.
Some of the magic could've been developed and explained a bit more. It was developed and explained enough that everything made sense, but I would've loved to have gotten just a tiny bit deeper, more thorough, explanations in some areas.
โ๏ธ๐ผ The writing is descriptive without going into purple. I felt like it flowed well and was easy to read and imagine.
โณ๏ธ I felt like the pace could have been a bit more consistent, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Pacing was solid, basically, but I felt like it bogged down a bit in a couple of places.
๐ฅ I loved the characters! Characters are important to me, and these were well developed and interesting enough to help me with the pacing some. The inner struggle with things like a lack of self confidence as well as personal guilt were interesting and helped me to connect more deeply with that character. I love and appreciate that the cast is diverse and inclusive.
๐ The romance was good. Not my favorite couple, yet, but I enjoyed it. It starts off more insta-love that I enjoy, but thankfully becomes more later on.
๐ช My expectations were quite high for this book, since I've been hearing nothing but hype for a solid year. That could be part of why it just wasn't quite a 5 star read for me.

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. And bless up that I have an ARC of Hearts that Cut bc I would lose my mind otherwise.
I need my sequel. This was one of my favourite books Iโve read in a long time
This books is absolutely wild and beautiful. Twists that I did not expect and I feel like with most books I can guess them? But not this one. Truly a beautifully written book. Canโt wait to read the second!
