![]() ![]() I love backstabbing (in books! Not in real life!) and secrets, especially in settings like an imperial palace. It was fun to read about Maia trying to pose as a boy. And yes, that is true for the first part of the book. Spin the Dawn is described as “Project Runway meets Mulan”. And nothing could have prepared Maia for the final challenge: to sew three magic gowns for the emperor’s bride, made of the laughter of the sun, tears of the moon, and blood of stars. As if that wasn’t enough, she draws the attention of the court magician, Edan, who seems to see right through her disguise. Not only does she have to hide her true identity, she’ll also have to compete against 11 other tailors for the job. When her ailing father, once a famous tailor, is summoned to the imperial palace, Maia poses as a boy and takes his place. ![]() ![]() Maia dreams of becoming the greatest tailor in the land, but as a girl, the best she can hope for is to marry well. Here’s my review of Spin the Dawn, by Elizabeth Lim. But I have some exciting books waiting for me on my TBR bookshelf, so hopefully I can catch up! For now, let’s talk about one of those 4 books I’ve already read this year. Hi everyone! How are you doing? I’ve finally finished my 4th book of the year, meaning I’m already 2 books behind on my reading challenge. ![]()
