I wanted to see Adelice fully use her abilities (old and new) and I felt like we didn’t really get enough of that in the book. Maybe that’s why I felt slightly disappointed with how things ended. It’s also pretty slow-paced, and nothing really happens until you get to maybe the last quarter of the book. I also wish we saw more of what life was like after the people in Arras made their way to earth. I also felt like the ending was rushed, and while it’s ambiguous/open-ended, I still feel pretty confident in how things will turn out for a couple of the characters. I really was expecting more of a showdown between Cormac and Adelice, and the previous two books really made it seem liked the ending was going to be something big and action-packed, and I feel like we didn’t get that.

I’m not really sure how I feel about Unraveled- I’m definitely all over the place when it comes to this book! I really liked Crewel, but as the series has gone on, I’ve liked it less and less. She will have to choose between an unimaginable alliance and a deadly war that could destroy everyone she loves. As the Guild manipulates the citizens of Arras, Adelice discovers that she’s not alone, and she must let go of her past to fight for mankind’s future. However, peace comes at a terrible price. When Adelice returns to Arras, she quickly learns that something rotten has taken hold of the world and Cormac Patton needs her to help him reestablish order. Things have changed behind the walls of the Coventry and new threats lurk in its twisted corridors. Genre: YA Dystopic/Fantasy/Sci-Fi Autonomous.

Initially, the story was written with two narrators Albin ultimately decided to use only one. Albin began by writing a story about one of the girls in the tower who didn't like her job. In the painting several girls are pictured collectively sewing a tapestry, which overflows and composes the world below. Gennifer Albin was inspired to write Altered (and the series in general) after seeing a painting called Embroidering the Earth's Mantle by Remedios Varo. The trilogy is told from the perspective of a unique female protagonist who must rely on her own talents to overcome a number of social and structural challenges. It offers a fictionalized view of the threat equality poses to some who seek to maintain social order. Published in 2013, Altered is the second book in the Crewel World trilogy.

Gennifer Albin's second novel, Altered, explores one girl's experience navigating the dysfunctional social and political systems of a completely controlled dystopian society.
