Threadmender Edira has the ability to cure nearly any ailment but she must keep her skills a secret so she is not taken by the Evers, a group of powerful magical immortals. When the leader of the Fernglove Evers discovers her secret and asks her to help him cure the incurable blight that has infected her brothers and his grandmother, she‘s thrown into games that are well beyond her.
Gothic and atmospheric vibes cranked up to 11.

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?

robinb cure disease and heal injuries (unfortunately at a cost to herself) was intriguing, and I found the passages featuring her expertise and its description well written and believable.
I felt that the characters were well-fleshed out, especially the three protagonists (Edira, Orin and Rorik). But the ensemble cast served as a good foil/background for these three as well. The "blight" became a bit of a character in itself, and its physical ? 2mo
robinb manifestation was quite gory in its detail.
I think upon re-reading this I would find lots of interesting allegories centered around good vs. evil, the blight itself, the concept of threadmending itself, etc.
Overall, well written and quite entertaining. I look forward to the next book. 4.25/5⭐️ #coverlove (edited) 2mo

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.
