Add a CommentWonderfully inventive tale about a dystopian future that is weaved to a seemingly ideal world at the expense of costly freedoms. Crewel is a cruel account of what happens when humans take natural resources and basic rights for granted. Adelice is a fantastic heroine. Albin craftily writes tremendous twists and complex turns that leave you wanting more.
Intriguing story - the idea that a Spinster can weave in and remove threads on a loom and that changes the physical world is fascinating. Not sure where book 2 can go after the big changes at the end of book 1, but I'm eager to read on.
Smart and gritty sci-fi that blends atmosphere and intelligence. A great pick for adults who like their stories laced with real world themes of power and feminism, and a great pick for readers who want something fast-paced, intricate and flat-out fun.
Great read! I am ready for book 2!!!
