The world-building in this book was really fantastic. What could possibly be scarier than a government with the power to control time itself? With the ability to alter events and remove people from existence as needed? That is just crazy. With that being said, the characters themselves were not very...

This book is very different from what I have read and I mean that in a good way! It creates a world within a world, the idea of being able to weave your world as it is seen fit is remarkable. Arras is the world controlled by spinsters and I mean controlled as in they decide everything. However spins...

There were times when I found this didn't flow like it probably should but overall this is an interesting story about a world where control is absolute and where society works along very straight lines. Adelice is coming to the age where she'll be assessed for her ability to weave, a job thats impo...

2.5 starsIn a word, I found Crewel inconsistent. The good? The concept. I thought the central idea behind Crewel, returning to the roots of the word “spinster” and the mythology of weaving, was interesting and strong. Albin’s spinsters have the ability to manipulate and repair the weave of their wor...

Just another book for the "potential wasted" pile.I mean, come on. UGGGGH. I give you hours of my life and you treat me like this?First off, the story is interesting. Webs, weaves, colors, threads, and life. But maybe it's the characters that I cared not a bit for. Maybe it was the society. Maybe it...
