Rating: 4/5 Stars
Spin the Dawn has been on my most anticipated book list of 2019 for a long time. Anything with royalty intrigues me. Which, in this case, Maia our main character enters a competition to become the next tailor to the emperor, but she has to do it disguised as a man and hope her secret doesn’t get out.
Spin the Dawn is marketed as Mulan meets Project Runway. I will say the beginning of the novel has a lot of Mulan feels to it, but it does not last throughout the story. It moves towards adventure and romance through the second half of the book.
A reason on why I docked a star is because there were times where I felt the characters main thoughts were jaded and juvenile when it came to the romance. Plus, I wish there was more to the trials Maia had to go through to get magic for the dresses she has to make.
Spin the Dawn definitely has a lot of twists and turns and is a book that is very hard to put down.
