⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved the Darker Shade of Magic trilogy by @veschwab - it got me through the heyday of the pandemic. I was waiting for the right time to pick up Threads and the time finally came in late summer, and it was like reuniting with old friends.

The Fragile Threads of Power picks up 7 years after we left the characters, and 7 years after the author left the characters, too. The new characters are just as dynamic and curious as the old, the world building is clever and scaled, and V.E. Schwab always knows how to stick the landing on the last 100 pages. When does the next one come out?? I'm so excited! 

I saw V.E. Schwab about this time last year on book tour for Threads and it was the best author event I've been to; highly recommend catching her speaking engagements the next time she's on tour 💗
