The kingdom is on the brink of war, her love is gone, and is now being forced to don the dresses to act as the emperor’s bride-to-be to prevent war from breaking out. Maia Tamarin’s journey to make dresses of the sun, moon, and stars has taken a significant toll on her. If you haven’t read the first book in The Blood of Stars duology ( Spin the Dawn), please pick it up, because it’s definitely another lovely read you’ll want to have on your list.īefore I start on the summary, a warning as always if you haven’t read the first book, steer away from this review to avoid spoilers! I longed to find out what would happen with Maia and Edan, especially considering how the first book ended and I urge you to put this on your TBR list! I think you’ll definitely enjoy it.

I was honestly a blubbering mess through most of the second half because Elizabeth Lim writes such evocative scenes that I really connected with.
