Loved it just as much as I did the first time I read it! Now I just have to wait until my copy of Unravel the Dusk gets here...

I liked the writing style and I liked the characters, but there could've been more development in some relationships but all in all, I liked it so ✌️

I loved this book. I didn't think I would because the story focused on a fashion contest of sorts. However, I was pleasantly surprised. It reminded me so much of cross-dressing (hidden identities) k-dramas like Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Highly recommend!

I love how the plot and details of Spin the Dawn overlap with the world of Six Crimson Cranes!!

Altogether, this was a pretty good book! I liked the magic system of the world and the characters! You can definitely tell that this is one of Lim’s first books, however. Still, it was great to see how Spin the Dawn walked so that Six Crimson Cranes could fly. It was also nice to get some more insight in the world itself!
