From the New York Times bestselling author of Six Crimson Cranes comes a fantasy filled with courtly intrigue, deceitful demons, and breathtaking gowns ... the stakes are higher than ever in this thrilling sequel to Spin the Dawn! Maia Tamarin's journey to sew the dresses of the sun, the moon, and the stars has taken a grievous toll. She returns to a kingdom on the brink of war. Edan, the boy she loves, is gone--perhaps forever--and no sooner does she set foot in the Autumn Palace than she is forced to don the dress of the sun and assume the place of the emperor's bride-to-be to keep the peace. When the emperor's rivals learn of her deception, there is hell to pay, but the war raging around Maia is nothing compared to the battle within. Ever since she was touched by the demon Bandur, she has been changing . . . glancing in the mirror to see her own eyes glowing red; losing control of her magic, her body, her mind. It's only a matter of time before Maia loses herself completely, and in the meantime she will stop at nothing to find Edan, protect her family, and bring lasting peace to her country.

The only reason this gets 2 stars and not 1 is because the first book was actually good.
This book barely survived the DNF shelf.

—Spoilers galore with lots of rant—

Pros:
- The cover is pretty?!
- That's it.

Cons:

- Ok so ending was crap. She avoided becoming a full demon because her dead family had pleaded her case with Amana who gave her a choice. WTF?!

- Also I'm pissed with the storytelling level being so low. Book 1 - Edan would forever turn into a hawk problem was there, book 2 - Maia will forever turn into a demon problem.

- Oh my god, so much useless stuff just to fill pages. Sarnai was boring. Never explained why the dresses hurt her.

- The whole concept of ghosts was weird.

- Her dead family came back to help her fight the demon
