Spin the Dawn
by Elizabeth Lim
I really didn't know what to expect by "Mulan meets Project Runway," but I certainly wasn't disappointed.
I really enjoyed this one, more than I enjoyed the <i>Six Crimson Cranes</i> duo, even though I quite enjoyed those two. This one is definitely a more "upper-YA" book, where the other two I have read from Lim (and in this world) have felt more younger-YA, and I quite liked the more mature vibe that this one had.
The characters were all charming and well-rounded, the mythos was interesting, and the romance was very sweet and believable. I really enjoyed the chemistry that the main couple had.
My only gripe is an audiobook only gripe, and it's purely a petty and personal thing that I can't in good conscience dock the rating for, and it's that the narrator's male voices were a bit...odd, on occasion. Thankfully not with the love interest, but on occasion they came across as very "I'm a woman voicing a young anime boy." So if you can get past that, the audiobook is a pretty good listen.
