New books! Just released this week and can‘t wait to read them both.
I really liked the tagged author‘s other series, so can‘t wait to dive into this new world.
I've read several of Martineau's books, and they've been consistently good choices for me, so I was excited to start this one.
This fantasy romance gave hints of a Grimm Fairy Tale in its darkness and some of its physical descriptions (characters, world setting, etc.). It started just a bit slow for me but quickly picked up its pace and kept me spellbound and on the edge of my seat at times. The premise of a "threadmender" (Edira) who is able to?
Darkly engrossing and imaginative. These are no sweet magical beings but selfish, manipulative, and dangerous creatures. Incredibly enough, there is at least a bit of an ending to this story before it reaches it hints tentatively at a future story. Thanks to Edelweiss and the Publisher for an advance copy.
