I did not find myself enjoying this one as much as the first one. I feel like it did not keep my attention throughout the story and I found that I had to force myself to pick it up each time.
I also did not enjoy the Io/Bianca dynamic and wished that the whole first part of the story did not take place as a journey with the two of them. Also, a lot of the premises felt weak and not fully explained. I did not find myself enjoying the conclusion either and hope the Author will add an Epilogue before the book gets published to show what happened to the characters and society in general. Felt like the story just abruptly cut off and wasn't satisfying.I received this as an ARC from Netgalley.
Hearts That Cut is a thrilling sequel to Threads That Bind, which was one of my top reads of 2023! To say that this was my most anticipated read for this year would be an understatement and I'm very happy to say it lived up to my expectations!
This sequel truly was non-stop anxiety for me. Things were constantly happening and it was a really exciting read! The plot took so many turns that caught me off guard and by the last quarter of the book I was gasping and on the edge of my seat the whole time.
The characters only got better in this one! Io is such an interesting character, in my opinion. She feels so real and her reactions / actions never felt completely out of left field. I really liked her time spent with Bianca and watching their relationship develop! The new characters were also great! I would've loved to see more of them. My only complaint is not enough Nico but that's because he was my favourite in the last book.
Overall, this was a really satisfying and fun sequel! I had a great time reading it and I'm thrilled it was as good as the first book for me! Would 100% recommend both of these books.
