Threads That Bind was a fantasy rich in world building, with a cast of characters that are complex yet appealing, and a plot that draws you in. The end hints at a very interesting second part…and I’m grateful to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review both books.
The descendants of the gods are, in the right circumstances, given some of their powers. Born in threes, each has their own talent and the relationship between the Ora sisters was fundamental to the success of the book.
Io, the youngest of the sisters, is a cutter. This means she can see the threads that bind people, but is able to sever a thread if necessary. She teams up with the young man who she is tied to, but is adamant that she will not exploit her knowledge and impact their friendship. Their strengthening bond is a key part in their investigation.
When Io is hired she does not know what to expect. Someone is abducting women, damaging their life-threads and setting them loose to kill. Certain figures seem to be a target, and it is up to Io to establish who is behind this. As we follow her through the investigation we learn of the history of Alante and the story of the characters living there. This was a book that got better as it went on, and I’m excited to see what comes next for Io.
