Right from the start we learn that there are seven missing threads (lives) and the Norns (Fates) want them back. I only had one complaint but it’s such a minor one that I didn’t want to bring it up. + The story touches on the Norns (Fates) and I don’t recall ever reading a book with Norse mythology. + I loved that it kept me up all night just trying to figure out what will happen next. In fact, it was quite the opposite - I had to stay up all night just to finish! I’ve found it distracting to the point where I need to put the book down and walk away, this is not a problem with Warped. As I’ve started reading critically I’ve noticed a lot of books where the narrative tells me what’s going on instead of showing. I’ve always enjoyed books form other centuries and while I’m not a fan of flashbacks these time flashes were wonderfully crafted. + I enjoyed the telling of two stories in two different times. For the past two days I’ve been trying to figure out just what I enjoyed, I can’t pinpoint it exactly but here are a few things:

After winning the bid she starts to examine the tapestry and the book that was wrapped in it and her life takes a sudden plunge for the strange as she starts seeing visions and having dreams of a different time.

Warped opens with Tessa and her dad at an auction house bidding on some books and what seems like a random tapestry.
