Review: Fragile Threads of Power by VE Schwab

Title: Fragile Threads of Power

Series: Threads of Power #1

Author: VE Schwab

Once, there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power, and connected by a single city: London. Until the magic grew too fast, and forced the worlds to seal the doors between them in a desperate gamble to protect their own. The few magicians who could still open the doors grew more rare as time passed and now, only three Antari are known in recent memory―Kell Maresh of Red London, Delilah Bard of Grey London, and Holland Vosijk, of White London.

But barely a glimpse of them have been seen in the last seven years―and a new Antari named Kosika has appeared in White London, taking the throne in Holland’s absence. The young queen is willing to feed her city with blood, including her own―but her growing religious fervor has the potential to drown them instead.

And back in Red London, King Rhy Maresh is threatened by a rising rebellion, one determined to correct the balance of power by razing the throne entirely.

Amidst this tapestry of old friends and new enemies, a girl with an unusual magical ability comes into possession of a device that could change the fate of all four worlds.

Her name is Tes, and she’s the only one who can bring them together―or unravel it all.

Here we go, back into one of my favourite series ever!

I was so excited to be back in this magical world and glad we still have Kel, Lila, Ry and Alucard but we also have Kosika and Tess.

As in ADSoM, this book sets the scene…..

Here are some of my thoughts…..

Although 7 years is a lot of time to change someone, I first thought it hadn’t changed Lila for the better (and I was gutted!) I really didn’t like her for much of this book but she did get better!

The changes in Kell also broke my heart but I guess it was to be expected.

Luc and Rhy, my heart…and little Ren!!!! My heart x 100+

Nadiya, she is creepy!!!!

Love everything about Tess – she is the key to everything!

Loved the flashbacks, especially Kosikas!

That ending – gob.smacked.

Next book please!!!!!

  1. This is next up for me to read and I can’t wait. The trouble is that it’s been 7 years since I read the first trilogy so I hope that I remember enough for it all to make sense 😳
