In a world where power defines your worth and classes shape your future, Luna is labeled a failure. Her class is Threadspinner. Her weapon is a needle. Her skill is sewing. To everyone else, she's weak. Easy to overlook. Easier to eliminate.
But thread can do more than mend cloth.
When a black portal pulls her into a deadly realm meant for elites, Luna doesn’t break. She adapts. She is forced to learn how to survive, and begins to spin something far more dangerous than fabric. Her thread begins to sense. To bind. To protect. To kill.
She doesn’t want glory. She doesn’t need approval. All she needs is time.
Because with each stitch, Luna rewrites what it means to be powerless. And when she’s finished, not even fate will be able to cut her thread.
This book is a mess of zero world building and all action with little explanations...
Its overpriced I wouldn't charge 2usd for a book this short and bad let alone 5
While the concept is interesting that is all this book feels to me is a concept not a real novel almost zero character development leaving me to conclude the author is a slop writer who has little talent...
I myself though I haven't published have written better and more coherent stories than this....
While the story is interesting its length is barely the length of a quarter of a proper novel....
I myself am writing a real novel with planned 1000 pages... while this novel has zero sense of what a real chapter is... A real chapter is a mini story it has to have a coherent beginning middle and end like a episode of a TV show and this doesn't even do that. Its a fragmented mess barely coherent
Also zero build up to any action just jumps right in leaving zero room for real character development...
Spoilers ahead.....
While I did enjoy the story there is zero evidence of the character even caring she had a leg and arm ripped off... With the arm being ripped off almost immediately into the action part of the story. I'm pretty sure the character would feel something even if she had the ability to reattach her arm she would still show signs of trauma... This story brushes it off like its a mild inconvenience not realistic at all and gives this story a feeling like it was written by a child who has little understanding of pain and misery and real development and growth...
I like the main character, and what little of the world is actually explained, but ultimately the whole experience is extremely hampered by the fairly poor quality of writing. Misspellings are rare, but awkward phrasing and bad grammar is everywhere. The world is barely explained at all, leaving me feeling like most of the premise doesn't really make sense. Why would you chuck each generation of kids into a situation with a 40-50% mortality rate? Who knows, it's not explained... The characters abilities are explained extremely poorly, and are really only uses a few of them.
The books only saving grace is that it's about half the length I would expect for a proper novel so it doesn't overstay it's welcome too much.
I liked the world building. The characters were fun and interesting, especially Tami and Luna. The interactions between Tami and Heather were funny reminds me many anime and manga scenes. I like the versatility and potential of Luna’s thread based class. I wish the book was longer in length but I will look for part two! *Spoiler I didn’t really care for the fact that she effectively tattooed runes on her body when threading into her aether clothes would have been less painful and still effective.
I found story very interesting and had a handful of characters I want to know more about. I normally like a the books I read to focus on one character but found the multiple threads engaging. Looking forward to the next book.
