![]() ![]() She’s a strong, no-nonsense, sarcastic woman who is afraid of the world around her, but so impulsive and fiery that she can’t help but speak up when she sees an injustice happening. Think, mash-up of a ladies sewing night, meets Fringe’s Observers, with a pinch of a scandalous Mad Men episode. I loved the original concept of this book. With weaving abilities so powerful that they rival the Creweler (the most powerful Spinster of all), Adelice is unsure of who she can trust and how she can free herself from a life of being controlled by the Guild. ![]() Suddenly, she is thrust into the complicated, delicate, and deadly politics of Arras and the Western Coventry. In Arras, Spinsters are treated like royalty, but Adelice’s parents know there is a much darker side to a Spinster’s life than pretty clothes and medical technology that keeps Spinsters alive and looking young and beautiful for years and years.ĭespite her parent’s training and warnings, Adelice is so drawn to the weaving during her test, that she accidentally reveals her powers to the Guild. If the girls pass their tests, they are swept away to the opulent Coventries to become Spinsters. At age sixteen, all young women in Arras are tested for their weaving abilities. When Adelice’s parents discover she has the magical weaving gift that enables women to weave the fabric of reality, they do all in their power to train her to hide it. ![]()
