Threadneedle by Cari Thomas. Excellent coming-of-age witchy tale with just enough darkness woven though the pages to keep readers at the edge of their seat while still leaving space for joy. And the magic and worldbuilding are terrific! I read this in a day and a half; couldn’t put it down. Looking forward to book 2! “Stitch in, stitch back.”

"Mr Norrell had worked himself up into such a frenzy of anxiety over Vinculus's supposed magic powers that this explanation had at first little power to soothe him. "Oh!" he said. "But still I am certain that he means me harm. Indeed he has done me great harm already." "Yes," agreed Childermass, "very great harm! For while he was in the pantry he ate three meat-pies." "And two cream cheeses," added Lucas. Mr Norrell was forced to admit to himself that this did not seem much like the action of a great magician."

— Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Susanna Clarke

I like to go into bookstores and just read blurbs and buy books that sound fun. recently I’ve been very into fairytale type fantasy. I’ve been lucky so far in that most of the books I’ve chosen like this have either been really good, good, or at least enjoyable with a few exceptions. anyway all this to say i read ‘once upon a broken heart’ today. it was definitely one of the exceptions.

#nat.txt #the book you are promised in the blurb is not the book you get #there are inexplicably vampires #the main character at one point inexplicably wears an ebony darkness dementia raven way outfit #described as a sexy princess corset and thigh high boots #she has rose gold hair and is Super Special and also sucks. #I read a book by the same author a while ago and I remember thinking it was okay but this one. oof #also it seems to exist solely to sell the second book in the series. I hate when books can’t at least wrap up SOME plot points in the first #book just in case you hate it and won’t read the sequel. #anyway. moving onto ‘threadneedle’ next so I hope it’s better than this one #books talk

Threadneedle: Book Review

Hi y'all! I'm back, and I honestly would have written this up sooner since I finished this book over the weekend, but the timing just never lined up. So, here are my thoughts, feelings, and ramble on...

Within the boroughs of London, nestled among its streets, hides another city, filled with magic. Magic is the first sin. It must be bound. Ever since Anna can remember, her aunt has warned her of the dangers of magic. She has taught her to fear how it twists and knots and turns into something dark and deadly. It was, after all, magic that killed her parents and left her in her aunt’s care. It’s why she has been protected from the magical world and, in one year’s time, what little magic she has will be bound. She will join her aunt alongside the other Binders who believe magic is a sin not to be used, but denied. Only one more year and she will be free of the curse of magic, her aunt’s teachings and the disappointment of the little she is capable of. Nothing – and no one – could change her mind before then. Could it?

_____________________________________________________

This book was just so much fun! Cari Thomas has a great way of really describing her settings, and just as important, especially in a book about magic, she's just as good as describing that as well. She takes a lot of inspiration from the magic of old that she learned about while growing up in Wales, and it definitely shows!

I honestly think my only complaint with this was that I didn't realize it was more of a Young Adult novel. I found it in a different section in the bookstore, so the sudden high school scenes were a little unexpected, and also not entirely my favorite, but that's more of my own personal preference coming out.

Aside from that, I thought the writing was really done, especially for a first time novel. The ending did seem just a tad rushed, but that didn't keep me from wanting more, which is of course exactly what Cari wants since she plans on making this a series. Speaking of, the second book isn't set to hit the shelves until July 2024, so a bit of a wait on our hands, but nothing I can't handle!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trigger Warnings: There are some dark themes in this novel, some of which include Murder, Self Harm, Child Abuse, Bullying, (There's also a certain sect of witches that treat their own witchcraft as a sin, so I know that could bring some religious trauma out in some people).
