My rating: 5 of 5 stars
After her father's death in a plane crash, Miranda Woodward's life begins to unravel. On her sixteenth birthday, Miranda receives a mysterious gift: a small wooden box containing a needle and spool of gossamer golden thread, left behind by her father, which begins a chain of events that soon leave her life in chaos. Her pet cat is replaced with another, her teachers don’t have her on their roll call at school, even her closest friends forget who she is. When her mother vanishes into thin air, Miranda becomes desperate for answers. She follows clues to a meet a man known only as the Tailor. With his help, she must find a way to fix her life before it’s too late.
Volavka keeps up an exciting pace throughout Threadwalkers. I loved spotting connections through the time loops and trying to decide who Miranda could trust and who was out to thwart her. Atmospheric scenes and settings are well described so easy to imagine, but without unduly slowing the novel and I loved the idea of the cluttered Tailor's shop. This book would certainly translate well to film or television and I look forward to reading more Joanna Volavka novels in the future.

I admit when the book arrived I couldn't think why I'd said I'd review it, and then after a few hours reading ... wow!!
DeleteThank you for telling me about this book.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
DeleteAwesome review, and I like this book, looks deep
ReplyDeleteThanks Calvin!
DeleteThis sounds quite good! I've been reading some good YA SF lately and this sounds like another good one. I like that she's a teen and has to deal with reality altering around her- that'd be hard enough for an adult, let alone a teen.
ReplyDeleteIt has a nice, unique cover too!
In a way Threadwalkers could be a metaphor for teenage changes. And at face value, it's a good SF story
DeleteHow intriguing! I like the sound of this little mystery.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good one! Worth a read
DeleteVery nice review. I really enjoyed it
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy!
