not really the fault of this book specifically but this is the second novel I've read in a row where the main romance is between an immortal being and a teenaged girl lol

fool_ofabook's review
The author sold themselves halfway through the book to cliches and tropes, totally destroying the integrity that had been established in the first half of this story.

This was a really fun and somewhat challenging book; I’m definitely looking forward to the second one! I got very serious Tamora Pierce: the Immortals quartet vibes from the main characters in Spin the Dawn. Gaia shared several characteristics with Daine; Edan shared a surprising number of characteristics with Numair (and some of Daine as well). And their relationship definitely felt comparable as well. Super interesting premise and I’m excited to see where they go next!
