(This review can be found on my blog The (Mis)Adventures of a Twenty-Something Year Old Girl).


First off, I don't think Altered would work as a stand alone novel, so therefore, I'd suggest reading Crewel first so as not to be too confused. Oh, and if you haven't read Crewel, this review may contain some spoilers for it.

I really enjoyed Crewel, the first book in this series. I'd been wanting to read Altered since I finished Crewel. While this book takes a different direction from Crewel, I still really enjoyed it.

I like the title. It suits the book rather well. Even the Earth in this book has been altered from the Earth we know.

I really love the cover! I love the photo off Adelice within the whole sand timer thing. Adelice is running on borrowed time, and the cover depicts this perfectly.

The world building was done fantastically! It is quite a different world then that of Arras. Yes, I know it takes place on Earth, but this is a post apocalyptic type Earth with a sort of alternate history. In fact, there is one famous figure from history who makes an appearance in Altered which I didn't expect.

The pacing was done really well, and I was instantly drawn back into Adelice's world. I never wanted to put the book down!

Again, the plot is very original. I was confused a little bit through out the book, but I think that was because it had been awhile since I had read Crewel (well over a year ago). I had to try to remember how Adelice can weave and her abilities. Saying that though, I did enjoy the whole plot throughout especially the whole alternate history take. The cliff hanger at the end of this book leave it open for another book in the seires (which I will be reading). There's also the whole love triangle with Jost and Eric again. With the last book, I was team Jost, but this book, I was team Eric!

Again, Albin does a fantastic job in writing well developed characters. Adelice feels like she's grown a lot emotionally in this book. She's more of a stronger female lead and less sarcastic in this book. Jost, to me, shows his true colors in Altered. We also get to learn more about Eric and his background. We are also introduced to another baddie in this book named Kincaid. Kincaid is more of a snake in the grass compared to Cormac who was an up front, in your face, sleazeball.

The dialogue is fantastic and never once feels awkward. I don't remember any swear words, and there is minor violence.

Overall, Altered is a much different book from its predecessor, but that's not a bad thing. There's more gritty, fast paced action as well as a whole new cast of characters.

I'd recommend this book to those aged 14 who are into science fiction and post apocalyptic worlds.

I'd give Altered (Crewel World #2) by Gennifer Albin a 4.75 out of 5.

Very Good. I read the whole series in record time. Then I read it again. Fast paced, believable robust characters and a riveting plot drew me into Adelice's world. A world full of oppression, lies and death by the yank of a thread. One obstacle after another is thrown at the heroine and she rises to the occasion, sometimes in surprising ways.

Adelice's interactions with her arch nemesis left me impatiently waiting for their next encounter. Twist at ending is a little heartbreaking if you catch what happened. ( )

To say that I was disappointed would be a huge understatement. I was so eager to read Altered after finishing and absolutely loving Crewel. Now I find myself wondering what happened because that something that made Crewel so entertaining, so different was completely missing from this second book. The setting was new, some characters were new, and things like Tailors and the Whorl were also new (which confused me at times). But it, I’m afraid to say, was just not interesting. I was bored in the middle and even at the end I just didn’t care anymore.

The only character I liked was Erik, but he seemed to mainly get scenes when Jost wasn’t around/involved with Adelice. The whole Adelice/Jost thing was terrible. I just hated Jost’s character so much. I actually think I liked the bad guys better than Adelice and Jost. And that’s not really a good thing. Also, Amie should just die. What a sister she is, wow. That girl needed to be ripped.

So with my disappointment, I’m not sure I’m going to bother reading book three. Maybe if I find it at the library or see it really cheap somewhere, then I may continue on. My luck with finding a series I like is still terribly low. ( )

Took a long time to get into. It wasn't horrible, just wasn't great. ( )
