![]() ![]() I read the whole thing in 24 hours, without even trying that hard. I just finished slogging my way through an absolute beast of a Sci-Fi for book club (see my review of Red Rising), and I’m really trying hard to get back into my reading habit, and Unravel the Dusk made it easy. Like its predecessor, this book came at just the right time. But how long can she run from an enemy that seeks to destroy her from within? Maia must find a way to stop darkness from ripping apart her beloved land, all while fighting against the darkness rising within herself. But when things don’t go exactly as planned, Maia is forced to flee, on the run from the emperor as well as the shensen. This wedding will preserve the delicate peace in the land after the war between the shensen and the emperor. Now, alone at the palace, Maia waits for the shensen’s daughter, Lady Sarnai, to wed the emperor. But in order to save her true love, Edan, from becoming the demon guardian of Lapzur, Maia has made a bargain with a demon and with the moon goddess herself that she will take his place so long as Edan is free. ![]() Maia Tamarin has already proven herself to be the greatest master tailor in all of A’landi. ![]() I’ll be back soon with fresh, spoiler free reviews. If you haven’t read the Spin the Dawn and plan to, I recommend skipping this review entirely. NOTE: This review will have spoilers from here on out. ![]()

Instead, they ask Easy to see what he can find out about this crime.The case forces Rawlins to address the ethnic tribulations of 1960s America, in microcosm, and his own discomfort with discrimination, in particular. So when a mid-30s, redheaded black woman named Nola Payne-aka "Little Scarlet"-turns up dead in her apartment, strangled and shot and showing signs of recent sexual contact, the cops are reluctant to storm L.A.'s minority community, looking for her murderer,especially since the culprit may well be an injured white man Payne had sheltered, and who's now disappeared.

Greed is a deadly sin but coveting isn’t. However, Ward is setting up a new world here, so I cut her some slack. I read nearly all of it, though I admit to skimming some of the paragraphs simply because how many times did I need to read about the heroine’s guilt or the hero’s obsession with money.
