The SUNDAY TIMES bestselling series continues…
Praise for world of THREADNEEDLE
‘Enthralling and original fantasy’ Jay Kristoff, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author of EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE
‘The magic both gleams and threatens’ Robin Hobb, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author
Anna survived the attempt to bind her magic, but Anna and her coven aren’t free from danger yet.
Haunted by her aunt’s death, living in fear of her curse, and fated to love the one man she can never have, the last thing Anna needs is a witch hunt. Now she must conceal her magic once more or risk losing everything.
But when deadly hysteria strikes across the capital, and in her own school, the coven are left dangerously exposed. Delving deeper into the magical underworld of London, Anna and Effie must find a way to work together to protect the coven.
But as the witch hunt intensifies and the hysteria spirals out of control, can Effie and Anna truly trust each other?

Kritikerstimmen
Praise for SHADOWSTITCH
‘A rich, multi-layered and mesmerising journey. Utterly brilliant and addictive. I was totally hooked and felt like I was living Anna's world with her!’ Carly Reagon
‘Shadowstich is a captivating adventure through the magical side of London. Absolutely worth missing my stop on the tube!’ Phoenicia Rogerson
'Witchy readers, your time has come… Thomas's conversational, easy prose draws you into a tale of dark enchantments and hidden truths.' Glamour
‘Shadowstitch is a darkly bewitching, luminous read that wove a magic spell on me from the first gleaming word. I adore this series!' M.A. Kuzniar, bestselling author of Midnight in Everwood
'From the intricate lore and fairy tales that fill its pages to the complex and challenging relationships between the cast of characters, to the terrifying depiction of a society driven to hysteria by the fear of occult power, I loved every page of this ensorcelling tale. Shadowstitch is a brilliant magical read.' Rosie Andrews, bestselling author of The Puzzle Wood
Praise for Cari Thomas
‘There’s magic in every nook and cranny – as well as shops selling memories – in this fantastical novel that stalks the streets of London’s underbelly’ METRO
‘A bewitching tale of magic, family secrets and twisted affections, of finding your true self in a world of treacherous mystery!’ David Wragg, author of THE BLACK HAWKS
‘THREADNEEDLE had me spellbound – a luminous, captivating fantasy that left me longing to return to Thomas’s vividly imagined magical world. With teen witches, hidden libraries, secrets and lies, it’s a dream of a book, and I loved it.’ Katie Lowe, author of THE FURIES
Overall, there are too many questions, riddles, weird poems and excerpts from witchy books that do not make sense and appear as fillers, thrown in to mess with the reader. Throughout the entire story hardly any satisfying answers or explanations are given. Nothing positive happens - period (with exception of the xmas festivities at Rowan's). It's all about drama, self-pity, intrigues, incredulous storylines and immature girls. No fun scenes, no exciting magic is happening, no 'yes, finally!'-moments for the reader. You get the feeling of watching a bad soap opera with dull scripts and mediocre actors. It all drags along like chewing gum without payoff in the end to see eg. some bad guys punished or at least some satisfying reveal. Even if the sequel (once released) could manage to finally clear up all the 'ilogics', present great character arcs, portray cool magic tricks, be a riveting read and give a satisfactory ending - it would still not be enough. Book 2 even makes book 1 look worse in hindsight, as it destroys the hopes a reader might have had then. There was an outlook and promise of magic practicioning, big reveals on background stories, etc.
Unfortunately, It's all a downward spiral - at the end of book 2 the only accomplishment is having managed to end the hysteria-spell, everything else is even more blurred than before, the ominous 'Seven' are still just that, apparently nobody cares about certain plotlines and loose threads...
Also, the characters are not very likeable and it doesn’t leave the reader to care about their fates at all. You want somebody to shout 'Skip the drama, suck it up and grow up.'
In conclusion, this book might speak to a certain audience but you probably have to love overly dramatic, self-absorbed teenagers who stubbornly keep repeating their mistakes, learn nothing in the process, and apparently are unable to grow - also hate happy endings and love cliffhangers and unsolvable mysteries.
good ideas but dull storytelling with too much teen drama
