Book Info:

The Severed Thread (The Bone Spindle #2) by Leslie Vedder

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy Romance

Publishing Date: February 7, 2023

 

Synopsis:

Which threads of fate will hold—and which will break?

Clever, bookish Fi and her brash, ax-wielding partner Shane are back in this action packed sequel to the bestselling The Bone Spindle, the gender-flipped Sleeping Beauty retelling, perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and The Cruel Prince.

Fi has awakened the sleeping prince, but the battle for Andar is far from over. The Spindle Witch, the Witch Hunters, and Fi’s own Butterfly Curse all stand between them and happily ever after.

Shane has her partner’s back. But she’s in for the fight of her life against Red, the right hand of the Spindle Witch who she’s also, foolishly, hellbent on saving.

Briar Rose would do anything to restore his kingdom. But there’s a darkness creeping inside him—a sinister bond to the Spindle Witch he can’t escape.

All hopes of restoring Andar rest on deciphering a mysterious book code, finding the hidden city of the last Witches, and uncovering a secret lost for centuries—one that just might hold the key to the Spindle Witch’s defeat. If they can all survive that long…

Set in a world of twisted fairytales, The Severed Thread combines lost ruins, ride-or-die friendships, and heart-pounding romance.

Content Warning: past abusive/manipulative relationship, abusive parent figure


 my review - 4/5 stars

 This was as strongsequel although I have a lot of the same questions I do as when the first book ended! Which I also didn’t remember that well because it’s been a year but it came back to me quickly. I love a few of those characters and their dynamics, Shane & Fi’s friendship and Shane & Red’s romance, but I didn't connect with Briar or this new character Perrin, Those books are fun, lots of adventures with weapons I don’t usually read about. Also Red has a pet wolf that I love.
