Silk Threads: Three Tales of Passionate Japan by Cecilia Tan, Laura Antoniou, Midori
3.0
Silk Threads is comprised of three novellas that are all connected through the ages. This book is described as a fantasy and a romance, but I would say it's mostly romance with some fantasy.
I found the cultural backdrop and mythology in the book very interesting and enjoyed seeing something new and refreshing (mainly not european mythology). I wish the stories were a little longer just to see more of this folklore.
This book can be described as mostly just romance. My main gripe with it is its poor plot. It seemed the authors just wanted to write really detailed sex scenes, then shoved a brief storyline in there so it wasn't just smut. I wish the plot was more prevalent (where sex scenes weren't the introduction to the story) and it carried into each story better.
3/5
