“Hearts That Cut” failed to live up to “Threads That Bind.” In the sequel, the reader is kept marching through a lot of scenes but little seems to happen through most of it. When something does happen, it’s rushed. 

I’m not sure if this series is a duology or not—things seemed that it could be wrapped up but the whole book suffered from middle book syndrome and the ending wasn’t particularly satisfying since it felt so rushed. 

“Threads That Bind” was a creative, heartfelt book that kept me engaged the whole way through. The sequel, however, me wanting. 

I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
