The plot of this novella isn't that big or strong. And then at times she doesn't, which makes her likable. And that means that at times she does typical stupid teenage things. She doesn't want to be an outsider any longer. She wants a boyfriend and her first kiss. Mainly because she's in every way possible a typical teenager. Rowan was also a great main character for this story. All sorts of magic are being shown and that also gives an idea of the endless possibilities within this world. There is so much magic! In the first book in the series our heroine is kept away from magic and we're seeing a little of it, but never its full capacity. What I really loved about this novella is the magic. I was therefore very excited that we were gonna get more books in this world! Of course, I had hoped for the sequel, but while waiting for that I take what I can get, among which this novella. It had such a rich magical world, such intriguing and layered characters and such a brutal plot-line. Threadneedle was one of my favorite 2021 novels. When I'm not reading strange magical books and working on my next book, I like to eat good food, watch movies, dance around the kitchen, write poetry and wander the woods, which I believe is the most magical place on earth. I have now moved back West, to Bristol, with my husband and son. It resulted in my debut novel Threadneedle, the first in my Language of Magic series. A world where magic gleams both light and very, very dark. A world where libraries made of books breathe dusty pages beneath the city and witch clubs serve up magical cocktails and vintage shops sell memories. I split my days between freelance work and roaming London, writing in cafés and libraries and any hideouts I could find, eating far too much cake and imagining a magical world hidden within today's London. I quit my job and wrote a book about magic.

I worked as a journalist for various publications and at a creative agency, before finally doing what I'd always wanted to do.

I grew up in the Wye Valley area of Wales and moved to London in my twenties.
