The second book in the Spin the Dawn duology by Elizabeth Lim AND my second buddy read with my boyfriend! We both read Spin the Dawn around the time I started this bookstagram actually. It's a bit funny (at least to us, or maybe just me, lol). Turns out, he enjoyed the first book more, and I thought it was good but not great. On the hand, I totally loved the second book, and he found it good but not great!

I absolutely loved this journey. For me, it was so addicting. I had that “on the edge of my seat” feeling because of how high stakes it felt. The romance felt more authentic and developed compared to the first book and the world's complexity felt deeper with elements like powers, oaths, and amulets.

Some might say (some being my bf lol) that it got a bit repetitive, causing it to drag, and there were a few inconsistencies. BUT who cares? The story, overall, was just so good! It hit me right in the feels, had me bawling my eyes out, made my heart ache, yet left me feeling content.
