Yet another entry in the never-ending succession of dystopian YA novels, this story rises above many of the others because of its
sarcastic and intriguing heroine, Adelice. The story presents a uniquely fantastical society where
young women like Adelice weave the very fabric of existence, and it follows her from the
time she is tested by the Manipulation Services, to her becoming the next
Creweler (the most advanced of the Spinsters), and then to her eventual leap to Earth. With elements of both
romance and adventure, as well as a healthy dollop of intrigue, young adults will
definitely be captured by the story and will await the next book in this
series.
