This book had such a promising start with such a unique tie to magic, government, and mythology. The main character Io is a Fate-born, meaning she and her two sisters are able to see and manipulate people’s threads to life, loved ones, and other things they love. Io is a private investigator in a world of bias, discrimination, and power, and she spends this book fighting for herself to realize that she deserves to be happy too. My issues with this book is that at times I thought the plot was a little hard to follow. There were times when I felt like I was getting not enough back story before diving in to a new group of characters or a new major scene. I also thought some of the characters seemed a little shallow, or that there was a lot of room to grow our interested in the main characters. Overall, it was an entertaining read but I’m not sure if I’ll continue with the next book.
