Why read it?

1 author picked Unravel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This beautifully written novel full of adventure, magic, and romance grabbed hold of my heart and never let go!

Marguerite is a compassionate and resourceful heroine who knows who she is even when the world tries to define that for her. I never knew how much I needed a story about textile magic until I read this book! The author wove her own experience as a deaf/hard-of-hearing individual and ASL interpreter into Marguerite’s story, and the results are a gorgeous tapestry of political intrigue, swordplay, romance, and feminist magic.
