Never one to be the third wheel in a situation, Shane is as fierce and formidable in every breath she takes as she is in every swing of her axe. The sheer breadth of this kingdom’s history is one of the reasons why I’ve fallen in love with this series. If you enjoyed the Indiana Jones aspect of the first book, then you’ll be happy to learn that this one is full of as many codes, secret chambers, and magical relics as the first. Regardless of their inner turmoil, Briar and Fi are more determined than ever to save Andar. Of course, it’s easier to write that in a Severed Thread book review than it would be to live the reality of it. They’re still friends who have become allies against the Spindle Witch, but it’s hard not to feel heartbroken that these two haven’t quite decided to lay it all on the line, consequences be damned. With the Butterfly Curse always waiting in the wings to make its move, she can’t risk settling down in one place for too long.īriar doesn’t understand why Fi has put distance between them, but he knows her well enough not to push the subject. Unfortunately, while Fi kisses him to break the curse, she also breaks his heart by rejecting his dreams of a future together. It took a while for these two to get on the same page in the last one, but the prince of Andar knows how to win a girl over. It’s what forces them to make reckless decisions, and it’s what inspires them to become heroes.įi and Briar are on shaky footing at the start of this book.
Their relationships, however complicated and fluctuating, are what gets them to their feet after being knocked down. I have to applaud the author for building such layered characters whose strengths and weaknesses truly drive this story forward. What happened in the Forest of Thorns changes everything, and our trio of intrepid heroes are more determined than ever to find a way to stop the Spindle Witch.
The Severed Thread picks up not long after the events of Bone Spindle, which means everyone’s emotions are still raw. Now that I’ve read Leslie Vedder’s sequel, I’m even more excited about this story and everything to come. Last year when I wrote my Bone Spindle book review, I had been excited to learn that it was not a standalone novel, but rather, a series. Our The Severed Thread book review is a spoiler-free look at Leslie Vedder’s sequel to her gender-bent Sleeping Beauty, The Bone Spindle.
