In the Labyrinth, we had a saying: keep silent, keep still, keep safe.
In a city of walls and secrets, where only one man is supposed to possess magic, seventeen-year-old Kai struggles to keep hidden her own secret—she can manipulate the threads of time. When Kai was eight, she was found by Reev on the riverbank, and her “brother” has taken care of her ever since. Kai doesn’t know where her ability comes from—or where she came from. All that matters is that she and Reev stay together, and maybe one day move out of the freight container they call home, away from the metal walls of the Labyrinth. Kai’s only friend is Avan, the shopkeeper’s son with the scandalous reputation that both frightens and intrigues her.
Then Reev disappears. When keeping silent and safe means losing him forever, Kai vows to do whatever it takes to find him. She will leave the only home she’s ever known and risk getting caught up in a revolution centuries in the making. But to save Reev, Kai must unravel the threads of her past and face shocking truths about her brother, her friendship with Avan, and her unique power. - From Goodreads

Thanks for stopping by, Jessica! :)
DeleteI like the sound of this story and everyone is like "woooow this cover" but I'm all "mehh, it's pretty, but not for me". AND I FEEL SO LEFT OUT LOL. I hope that this will be your kind of book and everything you hope for it to be, Sarah :)
ReplyDeleteOh Siiri. You're not alone. It wasn't the cover that really drew me in, it was the synopsis. I hope so too, Sirii. But I read Nick's (Nick's Book Blog) review and she didn't like it. Now I'm not so sure about this one anymore. *wails*
DeleteI used to make a list of books that I'm waiting on, which includes the date on publication, but now, I just get surprised they're out! (I think my reading mood is not as good as before.) :(

Aww, Dre. I feel the same way. I wish I could get back my reading prowess before but I highly doubt it. All we need to do is go on and believe that we'll get through this. (pardon my melodramatic tendencies)
DeleteOooh - Yes! I really like the sound of Gates of Thread and Stone premise as well. And the cover lover in me wants my grabby hands on that gorgeous book. I have this on my tbr list and can't wait to discover this gem :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it, Kim! I can't wait to read your review for this. :)
DeleteHey, this is exactly the book I was waiting for! I kept bringing it up on those kinds of posts! I'm glad I found someone who is excited about it as well. Hope we both like it, Sarah. :)
ReplyDeleteYes Lola that is the hope. :) I won't say anything more because I hate to be a downer. Thanks for stopping by! :D
