Blurb:
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.
My Review:
After reading ‘Spin the Dawn’ I was so excited to read ‘Unravel the Dusk’. I loved this book soon after reading the prologue. I couldn’t describe how beautiful and emotional it was. I adore the writing style of Elizabeth Lim. The plotline was so dark and action-packed.
Unlike the first book, this book was filled with lots and lots of action and adventure from the beginning. In book one, Maia was assigned to sew three dresses of the sun, the moon and the stars. In this book, she was fighting the demon that was growing inside her.
The one thing that I’m not satisfied is there was no development of relationship between Maia and Edan. Half of the book had passed without the appearance of Edan. I loved them both so much in the first book so I expected to see them more in this book. But there were only fewer scenes of them both and I was really disappointed with that part.
More importance was given to the supporting characters in this book. I liked the character development of Lady Sarnai who I literally hated in the first book. There were a lot of unexpected things happened here and I totally loved them all. The final fight was tremendously executed. I did love the climax. It was so complete and perfect in every way.
