BOOKS

I love books. I just finished a reading a new book. I bought it yesterday. Its called Crewel by Gennifer Albin. I almost gave up on it about 10 chapters in because it was such a complex storyline. With my dyslexia it makes reading complex things very hard. But I persevered. It took me about 5 and a half hours to read the 23 chapter book. It was a brilliant story of a girl's use of her talents and how she aims to protect her family and those she loves. Romance, Betrayal, Sarcasm, Battle of the Wits and multiple other factors came into play.
The characters were very well built and its very easy to pick sides. The set up of the characters reminds me a bit of the Hunger Games (By Suzanne Collins for those who dont know) with the main character striving to protect her younger sister. It  became easy to side with the main characters and you begin to grasp the futuristic community and its flaws which the main characters seek to show.


The only let down... It was written to have a sequel... and it was released at the start of this month. Which means I have to wait for ages for the next book :/ that has got to be the one frustration when finding a good book. is when it has sequels... and you have to wait for the next one.

  1. I was going to read this up until you told me I'd have to wait forever for the next book. Let me know when it comes out and then I'll pick them both up. ;) I don't have the patience to wait long to finish a story!!!
