In all honesty, I went into this book without any expectations. “Don’t become the kite that never flies.” Spin the Dawn (The Blood of Stars, #1) by Elizabeth Lim But nothing could have prepared her for the final challenge to sew three gowns so dangerously beuatiful, it will take a quest to the ends of the earth to complete them. The competition is cutthroat, and Maia's job is further complicated by the unwelcome attention of the court enchanter, Edan, who seems to see straight through her disguise. There's just one catch: Maia is one of twelve tailor vying for the job. She knows her life is forfeit if her secret is discovered, but she'll take that risk to save her family from ruin and achieve her dream of becoming the imperial tailor. When a royal messenger summons her ailing father to court, Maia poses as his son and travels to the Summer Palacw in his place. She dreams of becoming the greatest tailoe in the land, but as a girl, the bet she can hope for is to marry well. On the fringes of the Great Spice Road, Maia Tamarin works as a steamstress in the shop of her father, once a tailir of renown.
Keep on reading for my full review!Ī GIFTED TAILOR IN DISGUISE.THREE MAGIC DRESSES.THE COMPETITION OF A LIFETIME. I’m so happy I finally picked this up, because Spin the Dawn was so good. Last month I picked it up at the bookstore to read for a group read this month. This book came out almost a year ago, but I just haven’t had the chance to read it yet. When I read that Spin the Dawn was being pitched as Mulan meets Project Runway, I have to say that got my attention.
