All I remember from book one Threads That Bind is that I was pissed off by the ending. I was really excited to read this one so my anxiety over the last book could chill. The start of this book felt slow and wasn't curbing my negative feelings, but after page 100 it really picks up. The more our main character reconnects with people from book one the more I felt like I was slowly being healed. Then we get to the more epic parts of the book where they start fighting against the gods. The thread magic in this book is so cool and unique. I also loved watching her relationship with Eden grow in this one. I liked this one much better than the first!
