'Tricksters should never trick themselves' -the Trickster

Blink, miss a word and you'll be left with dangling threads.

Lord begins and continues a story that draws from ancestral storytelling style using shifts and slights to build a mystery around which her characters converge and her readers revolve.

Think of Unravelling as a interdimensional, inter-temporal crime mystery, but crafted with folklore and a deep and wonderful imagination. 

Like the title suggests, there is something to be solved, answered, unwound and Lord has expertly laid the threads within the maze that wind, twist, and contort to elevate the narrative. An imaginative and ingenious collision of the known physical and the unspoken supernatural worlds.

Lord has such control over the progression, the 'unravelling' of the story that she carefully takes the reader along each path/thread, veering unto a new one only when necessary, leading to a reveal that serves to enhance her world-building, further immersing the reader.  

As I read, I could not help but see Lord as each sister who are the Fates, weaving, combining/unravelling, and cutting the cords of destiny and happenstance of her cahtacters; taking this strand here and that strand there, unravelling there, to combine in this time and to be cut in that time, so expertly executed was this story that even after reading, you will want to dive back in to see just what you might have missed.

This is a thrilling, engaging, spectacular crime fiction that blends folklore, science with a bit of time and space manipulation. The story is nothing short of magnificent.
