Resumen del Editor
In the Labyrinth, we had a saying: keep silent, keep still, keep safe.
Lori M. Lee's debut YA fantasy novel, Gates of Thread and Stone, is about a teenage girl who must carefully stay under the radar and keep her ability - to manipulate the threads of time - a secret, until her brother goes missing and she must risk getting caught up in a revolution in order to save him. Kai learns that nothing is as it seems - including her brother’s past, her father’s identity, and her friendship with dark, troubled Avan.

For generations, girls known as Spinsters have been called by Arras' Manipulation Services to work the looms and control what people eat, where they live, how many children they have, and even when they die. Gifted with the unusual ability to weave time with matter, 16-year-old Adelice Lewys is exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, eternal beauty, and being something other than a secretary. But Adelice isn’t interested.

Matheus Taylor didn't ask to be murdered. To be fair, the percentage of people actually asking to be murdered is probably small enough to be safely ignored, but he felt it was worth stating regardless. His life might have been ordinary, but it was his life and he wasn't done with it yet. Quin didn't care. A 1,700-year-old Roman, Quintus Livius Saturnius had a different view of morality than most people. Killing Matheus and hijacking his undead existence seemed perfectly acceptable to him.

good narrator
I really liked this story and descriptiveness. the only thing I think I may have done differently and after hearing the end I'm still not sure is alternating protagonist/chapters between Kai and Aven. I was constantly wondering what he thought about a lot of things.

Book 4 Stars. Narration 2 Stars.
The narrator didn't read the book she told the story. When I followed along on my Kindle as she "read" I found she constantly changed words and sentences. Also she seemed to want to show off her skills because she threw in a random French accent. This is a post-apocalyptic inland city of the former USA walled and separated from any other people or communities for over 200 years. Where would a random French person come from?

A different kind of Time Travel...
Would you try another book from Lori M. Lee and/or Jessica Almasy?
3 Stars
A spiraling rewind through time, in a twisted world where magic thrives and danger rules, the GATES OF THREAD AND STONE had a fascinating plot, though did not live up to all my exceptions, but was still engaging enough to keep me reading until the end.
The GATES OF THREAD AND STONE was a totally different book then I thought it to be, and not as good as I hoped either. First, the plot was different then I anticipated, and confusing as hell at some parts. Their were a lot of parts where they were discussing their background and the roll of each person/being, and it was just too much to take in. The Infinite, the time god, the hollows, the mahjos, the sentinels, the cadets, the humans, and so on... It got to be too much for the plot and too much to remember after a while. And I finally just gave up caring and just rolled with it. And that was a let down in itself.
But nevertheless, it still had enough intriguing aspects to keep me enticed. Which is why I gave it the 3 and not the 2 star rating I was debating on. Even with it's many flaws, I sill found myself enjoying the world of the GATES OF THREAD AND STONE. Some of the characters not so much. But I was curious to what lies at the end of the story, and all the hidden secrets revealed along the way. I guess that was the main force that kept me reading until the end.
I LOVED Avan—the love interest to our main character Kai. He was so sweet and patient with her. But also was ready to strike at a minutes notice, and willing to endure the unthinkable to help Kai get through whatever situation she got herself in. He was just so lovable, and soooo HOT, I loved his overall personality.
Now Kai was another issue altogether. I really had a love/hate relationship with her. From the very beginning I didn't really care for her. It was something about her that just drove me crazy and rubbed me the wrong way. She was bossy, demanding, unthoughtful at times, yelling at Avan when she should be redirecting that anger inward instead of at him. And the whole dynamics of her personally was just a turn off. And it made it really hard to enjoy the book since I had so many ups and downs with the main character. Which was one of the issues I had. But their were still some parts where I admired what she was doing for her brother, and the love she had for Avan, even if she had a shitty way of showing it sometimes.
THE PLOT
Since Kai was eight, all she's ever known was her adopted brother Reev. He found her on the riverbank and took her in as his own. So when her brother goes missing, with rumors of the mysterious Red Rider as the culprit—kidnapping people and turning them into mindless hollows, using them as slaves any way he sees fit, Kai knows it's time to act. She cannot and will not sit by like the others while her brother is turned. She will find him, and she will save him, even if she has to leave the safety of the city walls to do it. And she will stop at nothing until he is back to her once and for all...
Following the trail of the Red Rider takes Kai and her best friend and secret crush Avan beyond the city walls and into the dangerous outlands, where gargoyles hunt their prey, and one wrong turn can have them going in circles for days—if they even make it that long. But as Kai explores the world beyond the walls of Ninurta, she realizes everything is not as she thought, and the people she thought are not who—or what they claimed.
Before all is said and done, Kai will have the chance of self discovery, something she's always wanted, but never could grasp. But as Kai untangles the secrets of her past, and the ones of Ninurta, they become the explosive that could ignite and shake the foundation of their world to the very core. And Kai will be forced to make choices—choices she never imagined she'd ever have to make, choices that could very well change the fate of Ninurta, forever...
Overall, the GATES OF THREAD AND STONE was a little confusing, and not as good as I hoped, but still good enough to hold my attention and keep me reading until the very end. I will definitely be reading the sequel, because that cliffhanger was enough to have me instantly request the next book through Netgalley. I think if you enjoy fantasy books with a little bit of mystery, and a lot of adventure, and a tad bit of time twisting, with a slow romance, then you may find the GATES OF THREAD AND STONE an enjoyable read.

A perfect read.
There was nothing that I didn't love about this book. Strong characters and a captivating storyline. Gates of thread and stone kept me on the edge of my seat. The phenomenal narrator, Jessica Almasy, brought the characters to life separately using distinct rhythms, pitches, slight accents and animation variances to make each one unique. Brilliantly done all around!

It's okay
I could not tell from the description that this was a middle school fantasy. While I do enjoy YA fantasy sometimes, this one was just too 6th grade for me. The narrator does a good job, but sounds a bit like a snotty 13 year old. I would have enjoyed it better about 40 years ago. The lesson learned is that I can't rely on the Audible description. I need to read reviews to get a better idea what I am in for.
This is the 3rd time in 2 weeks that this has happened, so shame on me.

It couldn't keep my attention.
I missed a lot while listening and couldn't make sense of some things. I constantly had to go back to hear what I missed. Just not for me.

Like a Young William Shatner
I had such a hard time listening to this!!! Too much emphasis placed on mundane details - exactly like listening to a young female Shatner, as I aptly titled this review - and it immediately took away from the story. Which is a shame, since the story was actually well written and interesting - once I got the Kindle version and read it for myself.

3 out of 5 star book
Listening to Gates of Thread and Stone on audiobook immediately set it at a disadvantage for I generally don't like listening to books as much as I enjoy reading them. I thought this book was ok. I liked the beginning and middle much more than the end. The end felt very rushed with a ton of information and plot happening but not well written or organized. I liked it enough that I plan to continue reading the series.
The narrator sounded like the typical narrator for teenage girls. To be honest I get pretty tired of that same old voice and demeanor for every teenage gal in young adult fiction audiobooks.
