Synopsis:
Maia Tamarin’s journey to sew the dresses of the sun, the moon and the stars has taken a grievous toll. She returns to a kingdom on the brink of war. The boy she loves is gone, and she is forced to don the dress of the sun and assume the place of the emperor’s bride-to-be to keep the peace.
But the war raging around Maia is nothing compared to the battle within. Ever since she was touched by the demon Bandur, she has been changing . . . glancing in the mirror to see her own eyes glowing red, losing control of her magic, her body, her mind. It’s only a matter of time before Maia loses herself completely, but she will stop at nothing to find Edan, protect her family, and bring lasting peace to her country.
Review:
An absolutely epic conclusion to this duology, filled with action, demons, and true love. Lim has such a beautiful way of writing that sucks the reader right in and makes everything feel so atmospheric.
Picking up where we left off at the end of Spin the Dawn, Maia has a whole new set of adventures and challenges to face. The culture, the writing, the romance…all of it was absolute perfection!
I’m kicking myself a bit for not rereading Spin the Dawn prior to this because I did find myself a little confused in parts. But honestly, I don’t think I could have dreamed up a better conclusion. There were laughs and tears throughout and I want to reread these books immediately.
