If you haven’t gotten a chance to pick up Spin the Dawn or Unravel the Dusk, I’d highly encourage you to do so. Lim makes sure we as readers are left with no loose ends or lingering questions. In all, I’m just very satisfied with how this duology has come to an end. That, combined with the ever stunning description of the world around our main characters makes for such an immersive reading experience. The duality of emotion that Elizabeth Lim is able to interlace in her plot lines is what makes her writing so captivating. It had moments of hope and moments of utter despair. All I can say is that this book was both heartwarming and heart wrenching. Clearly, a lot is at stake and time is ticking for our weaver of magic.Īs I don’t review sequels all that often, I’m not sure what is/isn’t considered a spoiler. If you’ve read the first book, you know that Unravel the Dusk is essentially one big race against the clock for multiple boding outcomes: Maia’s fate, as she slowly but surely turns into a demon bound to Bandur and the Forgotten Isles, and the fate of the empire that rests upon the marriage of Lady Sarnai and Emperor Khanujin, finally bringing peace after the 5 years winter war that claimed both of Maia’s brothers. Luckily, Elizabeth Lim does an excellent job of catching her readers up to speed in the first few chapters, and surely enough, it all came flooding back to me. Not going to lie, I was nervous going into Unravel the Dusk because I thought I’d forgotten everything that happened. Spin the Dawn was released in July of 2019, so it’s been almost a year and a half since I read book one. Although my reading is off to a very slow start for 2021, I do not regret taking my time to carefully enjoy the finale of this beautiful duology.
