About the book

“Dripping with atmosphere and edged with danger, Threads That Bind weaves together a gorgeous dark tapestry of mystery, fated romance, and modern myth. You won’t be able to put this one down.” —Alexandra Bracken, New York Times bestselling author of Lore

In a world where the children of the gods inherit their powers, a descendant of the Greek Fates must solve a series of impossible murders to save her sisters, her soulmate, and her city, for fans of Song of Achilles.

Descendants of the Fates are always born in threes: one to weave, one to draw, and one to cut the threads that connect people to the things they love and to life itself. The Ora sisters are no exception. Io, the youngest, uses her Fate-born abilities as a private investigator in the half-sunken city of Alante.

But her latest job leads her to a horrific discovery: somebody is abducting women, maiming their life-threads, and setting the resulting wraiths loose in the city to kill. To find the culprit, she must work alongside Edei Rhuna, the right hand of the infamous Mob Queen—and the boy with whom she shares a rare fate-thread linking them as soul mates before they’ve even met.

The investigation turns personal when Io's estranged oldest sister shows up on the arm of her best suspect. Amid unveiled secrets from her past and her growing feelings for Edei, Io must follow clues through the city’s darkest corners and unearth a conspiracy that involves some of the city’s most powerful players before destruction comes to her own doorstep.

    I initially wasn't particularly interested in the book (in hindsight: ew @ me) and was somewhat ready to unhaul while still unread. However, this turned out to be a really fun book! Loved the plot, the characters, the magic system and the way it all played out in the end. I'm not big into Greek mythology retellings and books inspired by such and had I known the mythology aspect before reading this book, I don't know if I would have enjoyed it to the extent that I did. Having said that: I think a big part of the fun for me was actually the magic system in general, and especially the incorporation of threads into the magic part, as well as the world building. Then there's also rebellion, gangs, politics, which are a big yes from me. Really excited for book two! Bonus: I read the Fairyloot edition which has a really nice flop.

    3,5-3,75 ⭐️ Sehr coole ya fantasy. Das Urbane setting hat mir gotham City vibes gegeben was ich absolut geliebt habe. Die Charaktere sind vielschichtig und interessant. Der Plot war spannend. In der Mitte hat es sich leicht gezogen aber das hat das spannende Finale wieder wet gemacht. Bin gespannt wie es im zweiten Teil weiter gehen wird.
