Adeline's parents have been preparing her the last few years for this day. For the day where they'll test her to see if she's a Spinster. She tried so hard to hide her secret, but tonight they're coming for her. Being chosen to work the loom is every girls dream in Arras to live in a sense of privilege, control, and eternal beauty. However control peoples entire lives and time isn't a goal of Adeline's. 
 Women of all kinds are very belittled and under tight control in this male driven world. Sexism of all forms appear in purity standards in order for a women to get a job, male dominance in the job field, and a lot of other aspects that men control. I think the authors goal was to mock aspects of the world we live in by over intensifying everything in the book. There's no females working together at all other than Enora in this book and it's as though it's very female versus female in this world. 
 I feel like I could've really liked this story with the idea of people being woven into the loom and possibility of them easily getting ripped away. The character depth was so lacking though that it made it really difficult. Everything about each character is so vague that we really never get a sense of who they are or what their goals are. It doesn't help that the main character Adelice is as bland as a paper towel. 
 Notice how many times I wrote control in that description ?? Yeah it was on purpose ha. 
 Pretty much how everything went down...

 Maela is jealous of Adelice's powers as a soon to be creweler and kills Pryana's sister causing them no longer to be friends.

 Bam. Done. 
 & not only is there a love triangle in this book (though it was so emotionless and rushed I don't really to ship either of them) but it's a love triangle that involves freaking BROTHERS.
