Her aunt constantly tells her that magic and love killed Anna’s parents, and that magic and any strong emotion, especially love, needs to be controlled. It ends with the immediate plot points resolved but with a lot of threads left hanging until the sequel.Īnna lives in modern day London with her emotionally and physically abusive aunt. All of this happens in an atmosphere that combines abuse at home and the politics of high school with near constant enchantment.
As they hex bullies and dabble in romance, Anna must determine whether her aunt is to be trusted and whether her new friends are true friends or toxic tempters. In this YA novel, Anna, who has been taught to suppress her magic by her abusive aunt, falls in with a group of teens who are all too eager to explore their magical skills. Threadneedle was not at all the book I expected, but I found myself engrossed in the story even though I was upset by the content.
