"Unravel the Dusk" by Elizabeth Lim

Unravel the Dusk is the conclusion of the story that began in book 1 called Spin the Dawn, which I read and reviewed last year. We left our characters at the end of the first book, when Maia began feeling the effects of having been marked by a demon. In book 2, the Emperor and the shansen are back to being at war with each other and Maia and the former imperial enchanter are in the thick of it. Maia has to learn how to control the demon within and channel her new power for good. At a basic level, it is a story of good and evil, an internal struggle within each of us: the choices we make, the impulses we follow or let go off. 

Similar to book 1, Unravel the Dusk is action-packed and a very fast read. I liked the scope of the story, the character development and the plot. Overall, a very well rounded fantasy duology. 4 out of 5 stars.
