There is so much obvious love and history poured into this book and I'm so glad to read a book about Greek mythology that is written by an actual Greek author, totally changed the game for me.
The magic system is so fascinating and with the ending, it seems like we're just going to get even more of it in the next book.
Love, love, LOVE Edei and Io's relationship so so much 😭 truly my babies
So excited for the next book already 🫶🏻

This is Kika Hatzopoulou’s debut novel and I am really blown away. Typically, debut novels are a little clunky—whether in the dialogue, the plot, world building, or some combination—and I try to overlook it because, hey, it’s a debut novel. It’s the author’s first time publishing something and they’re still honing their skills or maybe had a lackluster team. That was not the case with “Threads that Bind.” It was immaculate and executed so well.
Dialogue was sharp and realistic, the magic system was unique and compelling, the world building was sensational, I can keep going but I’ll stop there.
