Dana | 887 comments In the Labyrinth, we had a saying: keep silent, keep still, keep safe.

Lori M. Lee's debut ya fantasy novel, Gates of Thread and Stone, is about a teenage girl who must carefully stay under the radar and keep her ability—to manipulate the threads of time—a secret, until her brother goes missing and she must risk getting caught up in a revolution in order to save him. Kai learns that nothing is as it seems—including her brother’s past, her father’s identity, and her friendship with dark, troubled Avan.

Irena BookDustMagic | 1344 comments okay, I'm starting it now then, and it will probably take me three days or something to finish it 'cause I'm a such a slow reader (in a reading slump at the very moment).

Dana | 887 comments @Irene - No worries, I've been reading so slow lately too!

@Once Upon a Time - Cool :)

@ Sarah - Oh I thought you agreed to this date, did I totally muddle everything up? The thread can get kinda confusing sometimes when multiple buddy reads are being organized.

@Tayla - Sounds good, look forward to talking about it with you then.

Melek (chaissar) I'm planning on joining today or tomorrow. Will you guys read the sequel too, or just the first book?


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90950 comments Mod
I have the sequel to read but I'm not sure how soon I'm going to read it ☺


message 32: by Dana (new) - rated it 3 stars

Dana | 887 comments I have the sequel. If I like the first one I will probably read the sequel soon after, since I like to continue series while they are still fresh.


message 33: by Melek (new) - rated it 1 star

Melek (chaissar) I'm starting in a few, finally. I'm planning on finishing those two today and get them over with if I can.

Melek (chaissar) Chapter 2: The writing style repels me. I could enjoy the story if it weren't for the writing.

Glad to know it's not just me. This book makes me doubt my imagination. I can visualize practically nothing.

I know what you mean, this book felt like wandering through a grey wasteland.

Exactly. I even took a look at the map to at least have an idea about the place, but nothing.

Me too. I'm just reading to finish it. Oh dear, why did I download the sequel too. (facepalm)


message 47: by Melek (new) - rated it 1 star

Melek (chaissar) Done. I skipped some pages and scanned the rest only to finish it. I can't stand it.


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90950 comments Mod
I was upset because I missed the sequel at first, then it was put back onto netgalley so i downloaded it. can't say I'm looking forward to it now!


message 49: by Melek (new) - rated it 1 star

Melek (chaissar) Together we'll get through that one too, sister. Be brave.


Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90950 comments Mod
I may need chocolate cake to make it all the way through.
