![]() There were also some tenuous plot points towards the beginning of the book that I didn’t quite believe, but this seemed to resolve later in the story. While Lim rightly hones in on her inner turmoil because of this, I did feel that the tone of the story became a little one-note and heavily focused on foreshadowing. Throughout the book, Maia faces bleak choices. Her relationship with Maia is really interesting. ![]() I really liked Lady Sarnai as a character, and trying to decide where she sits on the spectrum of villain and hero. Edan plays a slightly smaller role than I expected, though this wasn’t an issue for me. Many of the characters from Spin the Dawn make a return, some more surprising than others. Her simple dream to become a Master Tailor seems far away as she is pulled into the machinations of others, the threat of war still looming. ![]() The changes within Maia set in motion at the end of book one prove to be her key struggle, and perhaps downfall, in this instalment. I can’t discuss much of the plot while avoiding spoilers for Spin the Dawn, but I’ll say that while the first book is seeded with hope, triumph and romance, Unravel the Dusk is a tale of desperation and loss. Much darker than the final chapters of book one. ![]() I couldn’t resist including this picture of FairyLoot’s ironically candy-coloured edition of the duology it feels entirely at odds with the tone of Unspin the Dawn. ![]()
