Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim
3.0

The writing was illustrative and engaging in the first half and I loved how the analogies always linked to the whole tailoring theme, given that it’s the whole driving force of the book.

But the romance felt lack-lustre, like I didn’t really believe in it. It felt too fast and lacking depth. Also, the second half of the book lacked the tension it needed given how high the stakes were. Again, the writing felt rushed and their emotions weren’t fleshed out enough for me to actually feel what the characters were feeling.

An okay first book, but not interesting enough for me to read the next book.
