Edira is a human with a unique magical ability to heal. She hides this ability from everybody except her brothers, after her aunt warns her to never show it to anybody shortly before she disappears.
One day, shortly after the town’s market day which is visited by the highly powerful Fae-like creatures, her brothers both come down with a deadly illness that has been spreading throughout her town and in a desperate moment, she attempts to heal them both only to be discovered by one of the Fae creatures who enters into a magical deal with her that he will slow the disease of her brothers if she agrees to come to their land and help heal his grandmother
The good: I really enjoyed the Threadmaker magic and how it is described in the book. I really enjoyed the detail that was put into the world and the characters. The moth is my favorite character in the whole book.
The bad: I knew from the second she entered the Fae world where this was going and what was going to happen. It was very trope based and very obvious. The moth is my favorite character, because the characters are all pretty unlikable. It didn’t feel as advanced as some of the comparison authors like Sarah J. Mass and Rachel Gillig
Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for this ARC.
