![]() ![]() I love a found family, and Rowan and Attis are delightful. I wasn't feeling any initial connections to the characters, but once Anna finds her people at school and she begins to discover herself is when the story takes off. Anna's relationship with her brutal Aunt and how she completely shutters herself away did make the first part of the story hard to get into. Anna struggles to understand what is wrong with her as her magic is so weak and since she lost her parents due to magic, she is torn between learning more or choosing her Aunt's path. Taking place in contemporary London, Anna suffers under the guidance of her Aunt who believes magic is dangerous and must be bound away and not used. Threadneedle begins a new series full of teenage angst, magical discovery, secrets, lies, revenge and I am so glad I stuck with this tale. ![]() ![]() Thanks to Harper Collins and Netgalley for the ARC. ![]()
