Synopsis
Her parents always knew she was special, different from other girls, that is why they started training her to be as normal as possible to fail the test that all girls must take once they've reached the age of sixteen. 
For girls everywhere becoming a spinster is the equivalent to becoming a super star. It's the only way girls can aspire to something more in this world ruled by man, also the extras aren't bad at all, eternal beauty, privileges, and having the power to embroider the fabric of life that makes this world go around.
But all the years of training during the nights are all for nothing the moment Adelice moment of truth come and the call of the fabric of life is to much for her to bear. Now what other girls have dreamed all their lives to become is Adelice future. Adelice learns the hard way that there is no where to escape and that she must learn to behave to keep her loved ones safe from the corrupted government she now works for.

Review
Original, creative and one of a kind I think are good adjectives to start describing this books. I love that I had no idea what so ever where this book was going to go next and all the topics like corrupt government, females dominated by men, who can dictate who lives and who dies, who you live not caring about their sex, among others just reinforce the story and make you sink further into the book.
Now the Sci-fi elements to this world and how they work together to keep everyone alive and well is fun and interesting to read and makes you want to learn more about all the stuff that is behind how this world works.
Character wise I believe the women in this book are more entertaining then the guys to read, even if they hold their secretes too, the way they are revealed I don't think hold the same impact as the story and secrets most of the women here have to share.
I honestly CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK and I'm sad that no release date has been given for the next part of Crewel World.
