Threads That Bind by Kika Hatzopoulou

I must say The Threads That Bind is a fantastic book! It's one of those books that I wish I could have put all of my responsibilities on hold and just hunkered down to read uninterrupted until it was finished. Unfortunately I couldn't do that and so it took me longer to finish.

I know it is a great book because most of the time I wasn't reading I was thinking about the book, waiting for a chance to read about the other born. Other Born are those with powers descended from the Gods that have died. Io is a cutter. She can see people's threads that bind them to the things they care about in life. She has the power to cut those threads. The Nine Muses the most powerful and revered of the Other Born have told of a prophecy involving Io. She will cut a thread and the world will burn.
