In a lot of dystopian books — especially those with a sci-fi or fantasy twist — the reader is introduced to an interesting world, and then CRAP HAPPENS and the environment changes. Divergent did this, Skylark did this, and so did others. Crewel came to me at just the right time. I’d been sitting aro...
In Crewel, every single thing in this world that see, hear, and even think is part of one massive weave. Most people never even notice the weave, but there are women called Spinsters who are able to see and manipulate it. They are recruited by the Coventry and assigned tasks based on their skills. M...
My Rating: 3.5 Crewel was one of the books that had a lot of mixed reviews that came along with it. Some liked people it a lot while others loathed it with a passion. I was planning on staying away from Crewel, until the beautiful book trailer caught my attention. I also loved the slogan that goes a...
***Review to be posted at Paranormal Haven in the upcoming week***Crewel is one of those books that has a great premise and superb visual imagery. We meet Adelice as she’s living with her family and has been trying her hardest to conceal her abilities as a Spinster. Spinsters are individuals that h...
Crewel was not lacking in creativity. In fact, it was brimming with originality. Gennifer Albin put together a book with ingenious world building and stunningly illustrious writing. What I expected out of Crewel was beyond anything I ever imagined and more. In Arras, everything is controlled by the...
This whole book is just a hot mess that I can barely make sense of. I was highly uncomfortable while reading it, due to the overt misogyny and patriarchy. The book was, of course, intentionally creating a patriarchal society, so a lot of the things that made me uncomfortable were supposed to do so...
This is the first book I've read for fun in a long time. (Grad school limits fun reading.) But I read this book over two days, and I loved it. It sucks you in immediately and has you asking questions that, fortunately, do get answered.
It's always fun when you pick up a great read unexpectedly. I first saw this book on the Tor website, where they were offering the first five chapters for free. The concept seemed very fresh (although reminiscent of the Three Fates from Greek/Roman mythology - can't go wrong with an age-old story)...
Seen at City of BooksWriting a review for Crewel is a daunting task because it's hard to express how much I enjoyed this book in just one short review. If you are on Goodreads and you've never heard of Crewel then I think you maybe Patrick Star. What I mean is that you've probably been living under ...
'No one knows why some girls have the gift. There are theories, of course. That it's passed down genetically. Or that girls with an open mind can see the weave of life around them at all times. Even that it's a gift only given to the pure-hearted. But I know better. It's a curse.'In this world, ever...
