6/1/2023 0 Comments Spin the dawn book 3![]() ![]() Maia thinks she’s already been selected as the imperial tailor until she arrives at the palace and discovers 11 of tailors that have also been chosen. That’s going to have to be enough for you. I will just say it involves a certain gold bracelet. I think Spin the Dawn is a mash-up of TWO retellings, but to reveal the second story would spoil the plot. So Maia goes and pretends to be her brother. ![]() They’ll accept any male from the house, though. Her father is in no condition to go and to deny the summons would bring great shame upon the family. Which works for a time until her father gets a summons to become the next Imperial Tailor for the Emperor himself. ![]() So she silently operates in the background claiming the work was completed by her father. This sends her Baba (father) into a spiral of grief that thrusts the family business onto Maia. Her three brothers go off to war, two are killed, and a the third is gravely injured. The story begins with Maia Tamarin, a lowly tailor’s daughter in a male-dominated society. I knew nothing about Spin the Dawn going in aside that it was a Mulan retelling. So what about Spin the Dawn was so addicting that I couldn’t put it down? ![]()
