Thank you Harper Collins and #netgalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. It's no lie, I didn't rave about Threadneedle but I enjoyed it enough to want to read Shadowstitch.
Again, I feel the author is highly influenced by other pop culture and literature, however, in Shadowstitch the overall storyline becomes much more independent and enjoyable.
Anna very much remains the main character. So much so, that the rest of her coven seems neglected. Manda barely featured, but ended up with her own side character storyline. There are plot set ups for Rowan that don't seem to have followed through (yet, there is still a third book). Atticus really was a bit wishy washy this time.
There were some parts I really loved. The Christmas scenes. The introduction of the Hel witches. The piano.
Overall, my review may sound like I didn't like it. I actually really did. Hoping book 3 with be just as good.
