This week I am waiting on
Unravel the Dusk (The Blood Of Stars, #2) by Elizabeth Lim
Publication Date: July 7th, 2020
Goodreads Summary
The thrilling sequel to SPIN THE DAWN, a magical series steeped in Chinese culture.
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.
YA fantasy readers will love the sizzling forbidden romance, mystery, and intrigue of UNRAVEL THE DUSK.
I had every intention of reading the first book upon its release last year. However, I’d been in a very long slump and didn’t get round to it. Now that I know the second one is set for release later this year, I’m hoping I can catch up with the first one before its release. The concept of this book sounds quite dark and I think things for Maia might get darker before they get better.
What’s your most anticipated release?
This book sounds great!

I’m looking forward to this, as well! I was a bit disappointed there wasn’t really a lot of sewing in book 1, but I still enjoyed it.

Same. That was something that really drew me into the book, so I can’t wait to start the series and see how the books draw and weave in elements of Chinese mythology. 😀
