There shouldn’t be a get out of demon free card. Towards the end of Chapter 34, Maia does go full demon as she should. This post will cross a record length that no one needs so, as it is there if you need it. I’m linking my death rant post because if I try to explain it, in this post. What Is Dead May Never Die – In Which The Grim Reaper Wants His Rep Back AKA- A Death Rant I’ve yet to have it make me completely dislike a book. I say it goes beyond THAT post (relax, I’m getting there) because, as I stated in said post, as much as it angers me. Except, in this case, it goes beyond even that post. I would say it comes down to the post that featured on the landing page of my site, which I refer to quite a bit. How does an author do everything right and yet manage to get it wrong? By doing one thing in the 34th chapter of a 35-chapter book. So, stop reading now and excuse me while I break my own heart.Įlizabeth Lim Did Everything Right And Yet None of this is pleasant, but Maia does what she has to do.īut then, in the end, one thing screwed it all up. Sending the boy, you love away, and it tears you apart. It is dark, raw, and cruel because turning into a demon sucks. Unravel the Dusk is written precisely as it should be. Lim would have to betray everything she set-up in Spin the Dawn. Did you expect this to stay on a rainbow path of puppy dogs, rainbows, and playing footsie with Edan? That would make absolutely NO SENSE whatsoever. Also, I want to thank Elizabeth Lim for being my very first interview during the first annual Summer Fling, just before Spin the Dawn released!Īt the end of Spin the Dawn, you had to see the darkness coming.
The mood will not align with Maia’s character arc. If you force the relationship between Edan and Maia, while keeping the tone from Spin the Dawn, Unravel the Dusk becomes a very unrealistic, inconsistent book.
If you thought this was a negative? I say nay-nay, not because I want less romance or dark books. Unravel the Dusk did the one thing I asked of it. So, once this section ends, I will put some space, and then there will be spoilers. It would be too confusing a review for me to try and give a complete review of Elizabeth Lim’s Spin the Dawn Duology without talking about Unravel the Dusk in full, throughout the review. It is too intertwined with my overall review. There was, in this rare instance, no way for me to separate the spoiler and put it at the bottom. I repeat This review will contain spoilers for both Spin the Dawn AND Unravel the Dusk THROUGHOUT the review. And by spoiler-free, I mean this BOTH BOOKS. It is the only section that will be spoiler-free.
