In a world defined by war over control, Rosalyn Kerster is a commander carrying a secret she cannot afford to reveal.
The Company and the Legion are locked in a conflict over the future of free will itself—one side seeking to shape choice, the other fighting to preserve it.
When Kyren, High Commander of the opposing Legion, returns after years of absence from her life bearing a warning that she will one day destroy everything, Rosalyn is forced into an uneasy alliance with the one man she has hated since childhood.
But war leaves little room for refusal—and as circumstances force them closer together, the line between enemy and ally begins to blur. Kyren becomes harder to ignore, and Rosalyn is pulled into choices she never intended to make.
Not every future is meant to be prevented. Only survived.
Received an ARC of Threadbound and I'm happy to have received the opportunity. Threadbound surprised me in a good way. The tension between the characters is very well done, a true enemies to lovers. The slow burn is slow. Just the way I like it.
The world-building is excellent. Orbs made from Flux that form a magic system. You can tell the author put a lot of thought behind it.
I hadn't expected to enjoy the military setting, but I did. It ended up something like "Fourth Wing meets Harry Potter" but without the school aspect.
The ending had me looking for more. Can't wait to see Threadbound #2 in the future.
SO HAPPY I was able to get an ARC from the author. The ending turned it from a 4 to 5 stars for me (and there will be a 2nd book!!)
+ Deliciously arrogant MMC (I swear Kyren's right up there to be my next book boyfriend.) + Strong FMC who isn't 18 years old. + True enemies to lovers. + Interesting magic system.
My favorite quote: "That darkness could be yours... If you want it to be."
Kind of a Fourth Wing meets Harry Potter. Without the schools. Or the dragons... This makes no sense, I know. Just read it.
If I could improve one thing, it'd be that I'd love to get more obscure details on the magic system/schooling, since I'm a sucker for those things.
4.5/5 Stars! This book was something new for me, in a good way! I’m not usually a lover of a slow burn but this changed my mind. The tension between the two characters was so thick that I couldn’t put this down! I loved how much they hated each other throughout the book and the cliffhanger was crazy! I already asked if there was going to be a book 2!
Incredibly lucky to receive an ARC for this book. I loved the MMC, his POV chapters were so gripping and I found I liked him from the beginning. I would have liked to know a bit more background on the war which would have made me more invested in either side. The side characters are all intriguing and the ending is a great twist.
