I'd heard a lot of good talk about this book, so I was fairly eager to get my hands on it already when this came up in Amazon Vine. Readers, you will want to get your hands on this book just as much. I absolutely loved this book. 
 I don't know where to begin with what I loved about this book. I think one of the things that stuck out the most was how complicated the characters sometimes are. Very few of the characters are absolutely good or absolutely bad and I think Maela might be one of my favorites of the book. The premise of the book was also pretty appealing. The use of looms to weave reality or to influence things has been something that has stuck with me ever since I heard about the old video game Loom. There's a lot to play with as far as the loom and weaving metaphors go, so Albin has a lot of room to play around in. 
 There are a lot of familiar themes here. You have your stereotypical love triangle and Adelice is also your typical YA heroine. This doesn't really detract from the book as a whole and the familiarity of all of this helps to ground the rest of the book since there's a lot that goes on in this first entry. For this reason I'd say that this book won't be the "lounge around and eat potato chips" type of read. It's addicting and a fast read, so I don't think that will really put a lot of people off. 
 If you're a fan of Cate Tiernan's work, you'll probably like this one. It's not exactly the same genre but it seems to have that same addicting quality that her books have. I'm already yearning for the next book in the series and I hate the thought that it'll probably be at least a good year before I have the chance to get my hands on a review copy. This is absolutely worth the time to check out.
