The Thread That Binds by Cedar McCloud

4.0

I'm not always the biggest fan of high fantasy because it takes me a minute to understand the world, but I greatly enjoyed this book. I loved the magic system of the world and how each person had their own unique style. The meta of the major religion is sometimes a little jarring, but make sense for a world where books are the most important things.

The relationships between Tabby, Rhiannon, and Amane are wonderful to watch develop and grow. Mairead gave me the creeps from the get-go. The Stargroves' relationship is goals.

I really want to see Amane's oracle deck, and I would love to read all of the myths and folk tales for the world. McCloud did a fantastic job worldbuilding and I want to spend more time in it.
