UNRAVEL THE DUSK BY ELIZABETH LIM

THE BLOOD OF STARS #2

This book was received from the Author, and Publisher, in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

UNRAVEL THE DUSK

“Magic was the blood of stars falling from the sky, the song of my enchanted scissors—eager to make a miracle out of thread and hope.”

“A long time ago, a foolish girl was asked to weave the sun, embroider the moon, and paint the stars, three impossible tasks she did not believe she could accomplish.”

UNRAVEL THE DUSK is a gorgeously composed sequel to a lush and enthralling YA fantasy. Readers will appreciate the world-building, beautiful characters, and nail-biting action.

Unravel the Dusk is a the gorgeously composed final installment in author Elizabeth Lim’s The Blood of Stars duology.

Maia is a tailor who takes her brother’s position to disguise herself and competes in competition for a place as the imperial tailor. The demon Bandur touched her while gathering the necessary supplies to craft the goddess’s three fabled dresses made of sunlight, moonlight and stars blood. She has freed the boy she loves, Edan from an oath, by becoming the guardian of Lapzur. The curse by demon Bandur is starting to effect her, and is slowly losing herself to darker forces as the transformation is taking hold of her.

“Seize the wind. Don’t become the kite that never flies”

An exceptional written Ya Fantasy, full of adventure and incredible character development. A book that drew me in and I was completely immersed within its pages. High stakes adventure will keep you on the edge of your seat. Vivid lush world building along, along with mythological legends makes this a stunning book

Elizabeth Lim grew up on a hearty staple of fairy tales, myths, and songs. Her passion for storytelling began around age 10, when she started writing fanfics for Sailor Moon, Sweet Valley, and Star Wars, and posted them online to discover, “Wow, people actually read my stuff. And that’s kinda cool!” But after one of her teachers told her she had “too much voice” in her essays, Elizabeth took a break from creative writing to focus on not flunking English.

Over the years, Elizabeth became a film and video game composer, and even went so far as to get a doctorate in music composition. But she always missed writing, and she turned to penning stories when she needed a breather from grad school. One day, she decided to write and finish a novel — for kicks, at first, then things became serious — and she hasn’t looked back since.

Elizabeth loves classic film scores, books with a good romance, food (she currently has a soft spot for arepas and Ethiopian food), the color turquoise, overcast skies, English muffins, cycling, and baking. She grew up in Northern California, with a brief stint in Tokyo, Japan, but now lives in New York City with her husband and their daughter.

Elizabeth graduated from Harvard College with an A.B. in music and a secondary in East Asian Studies. She completed her graduate degrees (MM, DMA) at The Juilliard School.
