This book has everything magic, romance, adventure and mystery. The book ends on a suspense, which is a good thing since readers will want to keep up with Maia's upcoming experiences. I won’t lie, I had high expectations going into this book and let me tell you, Spin the Dawn exceeded all those expectations. Spin the Dawn is proof that casting a wider net not only gives us a fresh story that. This is the second debut box they have done and it includes a hardback copy of Spin the Dawn, an enamel pin, a wooden bookmark, a letter from the author and a signed bookplate. Spin the Dawn is one of those wonderfully crafted tales that weaves self-discovery, love, and adventure into a beautifully written story. In the end, their connection grows gradually and realistically, and each feels that the sacrifices they make for the other are justified. This debut box of Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim is amazing I was so excited when I found out Illumicrate was doing this.

Maia and Edan's developing romance follows a formulaic path in which she first misinterprets his restrained demeanor for emotional coldness and they frequently engage in contradictory communication. The main character Maia and the enchanter Edan fall in love and perhaps have a sexual encounter, though it's not clear. There isn't much cursing ('damn,' 'hell') used. Only when an adult drinks from a flask and becomes drunk is there substance usage. There are a few violent sequences, such as sword and dagger battles and fires, but nothing particularly graphic or upsetting.
