"Crewel" by Gennifer Albin (357 pgs)

The vibrant mix of colors on the cover plus the unusual title drew me in to read this book.

This story follows a girl, Adelice Lewys, as she gets chosen out of all the girls around her to become a spinster for the world of Arras. The spinsters control everything that goes on in the world of Arras: the weather, food supply, and they even have the power to remove people if they get too old or sick to survive. Adelice gets thrown into the world of a spinster and is expected to learn the ways of being a spinster, controlling the world but also going to extravagant parties and traveling all around the world of Arras. Adelice has to make difficult choices, choosing between bettering her own life or bettering the world of Arras.

At the beginning of the book I was very confused, but by sticking with it I really enjoyed the book at the end. This book is good for anyone who likes fantasy books.
