Great read

Title: Threads That Bind Author: Kika Hatzopoulou Io Ora is a decendant of the Greek Fates and she is able to cut apart the threads that tie/bind people to things they love and the thread that binds their life too. In the book a women who has had her life thread severed but is still living commits murder and Io sees this happen. She can also see threads that bind soul mates together and in the book Io meets hers. I love the cover on The Threads That Bind by Kika Hatzopoulou it pulled me in. I really love the illustration and the color palette that was used very pretty colors. I really enjoyed the plot of this story it grabs the attention of the reader and pull you in pretty fast. I loved the part where Io meets her soul mate and sees the thread binding them together it was very cute. I reccomend reading this book if you love Young Adult or Middle Grade novels that deal with the Greeks.

Great story and twist on mythology

This was an intriguing world, where people could be inheritor's of gods' powers (who have long ago disappeared) depending on how many siblings are in the family. Three siblings could be moira born and nine would be the muses. There were many different variations and I thought that made for an interesting setting. Add in the mysterious wraith women and Io trying to get to the bottom of it, along with her fate thread linked Edei, and I dove right in to the story. Lots of little twists though I guessed pretty easily about the wraiths. I definitely think I would want to be one of the other born because I would want powers if I lived in this apocalyptic world, despite the way that they are sometimes treated. I really liked the story, what I did not like was that ending because now I need the next book now. That was quite the secret dropped and I cannot wait to see what Io does next with the knowledge and how she can save (or end) the world.
